A file that matches your purpose
Tourism, business meetings, paid employment, study and family visits may use different application categories. Define your travel purpose and length of stay first. Do not assume a visitor visa authorises employment.
Where will you apply?
Nationality and legal residence can affect the competent consulate and application channel. Check the destination’s official portal for submission location, forms and appointment procedures. Follow official links to any external application provider.
Personalise your checklist
A passport, photograph, evidence of purpose, finances, accommodation and insurance may be relevant. Work applications may involve employer evidence; study may require admission documents. These examples are not a mandatory or exhaustive checklist: use the official category-specific list.
