Questions about this visa

How long does this take?

The authority publishes 2 weeks to 3 months depending on stream (estimate). That is an estimate, not a commitment, and it can change during busy seasons. We tell you the current picture when we review your file.

Is the checklist above complete for me?

It is the general list. Requirements vary by nationality and sometimes by place of residence, so we confirm your exact list in writing before any work starts.

What if my application is refused?

A refusal is not grounds for a refund of work already completed. We explain the stated reason, and where a fresh application makes sense we tell you what would need to change.
