What you’ll need.

Visitor preparation checklist

This is a starting checklist, not a final personalized determination. The official portal or responsible consular post may request more.

• Valid travel passport and legible biographical page
• Recent passport-style photo meeting the current portal instructions
• Accurate traveler and contact information
• Trip details and purpose evidence, when requested
• Financial or accommodation evidence, when requested
• Additional child or guardian evidence, where applicable

Your passport is only the first question

Residence, dual nationality, intended activities, stay length and existing immigration status can change the right process. Unusual circumstances need a specific review.

Applying for more than a visit?

Work, study, family, investment and longer-term routes need their own evidence. Use the purpose selector rather than reusing a tourist checklist.
