Documentation
A successful visa application starts with the right documentation. Each country has its own rules about what documents you need to send. If you do not send the right ones, your application could be delayed or even turned down.
For each type of visa and each country you want to visit, it is very important to know exactly what documents are needed.
Some of the commonly required documents include:
- Valid passport
- Completed visa application form
- Recent passport-sized photographs
- Proof of financial means (bank statements, employment letters, etc.)
- Travel itinerary or flight reservations
- Proof of accommodation (hotel reservations, invitation letters, etc.)
- Supporting documents specific to the purpose of your visit (e.g., enrollment letter for students, business invitation for business travelers)
- It is very important to make sure that all of your documents are correct, up to date, and meet the specific needs of the embassy or consulate where you are sending your application.
Do's For First Time Travellers
Application for a visa can take weeks or even months to process, depending on the country and type of visa you want. Start the application process early to avoid having to rush at the last minute and missing the deadline.
Read and understand the instructions carefully.
- Every visa form and set of instructions is different. Read and fully understand the requirements to make sure you send all the required documents and information.
- Gather all required documents.
- Follow the embassy or consulate’s list of what documents you need to bring. Double check all of your documents to make sure they are complete, valid, and meet the requirements before submission. If you have any documents that are not written in English, you must include certified translations.
- Provide accurate and truthful information.
- If your application has any mistakes or false information on it, it could be rejected right away or cause problems in the future. Being honest and open in your answers is important.

- Do some research on common interview questions and practice your answers if you have to go through an interview. Make sure you look good for your appointment and get there on time.
- Pay the required fees.
- The cost of applying for a visa varies by country and type of visa. Make sure you know the right amount of the fee and how to pay it.
- Be patient and follow up.
