Preparing for your dream vacation can be exciting and scary at the same time. Here are a few things to keep in mind when applying for your visa to ensure seamless visa application experience.
Make sure relaxation is the only thing on your mind when you apply in advance for your visa. Apply as early as possible keeping in mind the average processing times and the intended date of travel. Most countries accept visa applications up to 90 days before the date of travel.
VFS Global ensures that your documents are dispatched to the consulate/embassy within 24 hours of submission. But remember that each country has a different timeline for its visa processing, and these timelines are clearly mentioned on their websites, providing you with the information required to apply for your visa well in advance. Be aware that during peak season visa processing can take longer than anticipated. Once applied in the Embassy, VFS Global has no influence on the progress of the visa application and cannot track the status at this stage.
A checklist of the documentation required for visa applications for each country served by VFS Global is available on our website. Be sure to carry all the requisite documentation to submit along with the duly filled application form. Check your passport’s validity. Many countries require a valid passport six months beyond your return date.
