Most visa delays come from missing or mismatched documents, not from the visa itself. Check these before you apply.
Core documents
- Passport with at least 18 months validity and two blank pages
- Passport-size photographs on a white background
- Educational and trade certificates, attested where required
- Experience letters from previous employers
- Police clearance certificate for some countries

Names must match everywhere
Spelling differences between your passport, certificates and bank records cause rejections. If your name differs, get an affidavit or corrected certificate before you submit.
