Visa Application Center – Important Update for Applicants

Dear Esteemed Applicants,
We kindly encourage all applicants applying in good faith to book an appointment through the Visa Application Center (VAC) and submit their documents as per the guidelines provided. New appointment slots are regularly updated on our official website: Click here. If all submitted documents are complete and the purpose of travel is clearly established, the visa processing should be completed within a reasonable timeframe.

Due to high demand, appointment slots are limited and allocated to ensure efficient processing. Please note that unused appointments (including cases of "no-show" or incomplete/incorrect documentation) cannot be reassigned to other applicants under any circumstances.

To facilitate a smooth application process, we kindly request that you:

• Accurately enter your application webform number when booking your appointment to avoid delays or refusal of submission.
• Schedule appointments only through our official website and ensure all documents match the checklist requirements.
• Select the correct visa category during booking, as applications under incorrect categories will not be accepted, and a new appointment will be necessary.

All appointments are free of charge and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Should you have any questions, please refer to our website for further guidance.

Thank you,
Visa Application Center Team
