Visa Application
A visa is a travel document that permits you to visit a foreign nation for a limited time. Before traveling, you must usually apply for a visa, either at an embassy, consulate, or online. A visa on arrival is sometimes available. Visas are often attached to your passport and specify the length of your stay.
Most governments require visas for foreign nationals as a security precaution: to keep track of who enters and to prevent illegal immigration. Visas are sometimes used defensively to prevent security hazards from entering a nation.
1. Make an appointment.
2. Collect a set of documents.
3. Pay a visa processing fee.
4. Enter a visa interview.
The consular personnel will assess your application and determine whether or not you will be granted a visa. Depending on the kind of visa, processing time might range from a few days to many months.
Remember
Sometimes, embassies or consulates will outsource visa submissions to private travel agencies. This means the agency collects your documents and sends them to the embassy/consulate, which then makes the decision.
