Important Information
If this service has any special requirements, processes or rules they will be listed here. If applicable to this service, please read this section carefully to ensure you fully understand the entirety of the process.
Processing time in the embassy is usually a minimum of 21 business days for standard services or 5 business day for express services. Please note that as the embassy must await authorisation from their Ministry to issue your visa, processing times can not be guaranteed. We would therefore advise that you do not confirm any flight booking until your visa has been issued.
The embassy will issue visa validity according to your invitation only & you must apply for the visa in the same time frame (For example, if your invitation is for a 3 month visa, you can not apply more than 3 months in advance).
All visas are issued with multiple entries.
Once the embassy has begun the process, the passport will be unavailable to you until the process is complete
