Have all of your documentation
ready before the visa interview.
You will need:
- A passport
valid for at least 6 months after your interview. Passports
should have at least one blank page (without stamps)
available to attach a visa. If your passport is still valid but has
no available pages, you should obtain a new passport.
- Voting
Card (IFE Card)
- Appropriate application
form, preferably filled out electronically. (Although some
of these forms are also available in the visa line on the day of your
appointment, having to fill them out then will result in an additional
delay, and you will not be allowed to enter the visa pavilion until
the forms are completely filled in.)

must be in original and should support your visa application
by detailing employment, reason for travel, and/or current
financial status. In most cases, these documents should demonstrate
that you have motives and intention to return to your country at the
end of your visit.

visas are delivered to your house by a delivery service.You
will also save time at the Embassy by filling out the form
online (if necessary, download

one has space for the names of up to four applicants.
