Prepare for official appointment booking, document submission, fingerprints and photograph collection.
Appointment control
Slots are controlled by the responsible embassy, consulate or authorised application centre. No private consultant can guarantee availability.
Biometrics
Most applicants provide fingerprints and a photograph unless an official exemption or valid previous biometric record applies.
Submission day
Carry documents in the requested order and arrive with the original passport and appointment confirmation.
Remember: Country-specific instructions and applicant circumstances can change the final document list. Always check the responsible mission’s current requirements before submission.
