Supply Chain
Process management

It’s important to note that these steps are a general overview of the supply chain process for visa applications, and specific requirements and timeframes may vary depending on the situation. To ensure a smooth application process, it’s recommended that applicants start researching and preparing well in advance of their intended travel date. Also, our standard service fees are charged separately and do not include urgent priority services and options.

1. Consultant's Research

This can involve visiting the country’s embassy or consulate website or contacting them directly to obtain accurate information.

2. Application Preparation

The application must be thoroughly checked to ensure first-time submission, which may include a valid passport, passport-sized photos, proof of financial support, a travel itinerary, and other supporting documents depending on the visa type (e.g., employment, tourism, or study visas). The applicant may also need to complete a visa application form online or in paper format. It is important to note that the Consulate or Embassy may request additional information in addition to the standard requirements.

3. Submission

Visas Zone submits the completed application package to the relevant embassy, consulate, or visa application centre. In some cases, online submission may be available.

4. Appointment and Biometrics*

* if required

Some countries require visa applicants to attend an appointment at the embassy, consulate, or visa application centre to provide biometrics (e.g., fingerprints and photographs) and participate in an interview. Visas Zone confirms the appointment date and time, and a representative meets the applicant in person at the Lodgement Centre.

5. Processing

The consular or immigration authorities review the submitted application and decide whether to approve or reject the visa request. The processing time can vary widely depending on factors like the applicant’s nationality, the destination country, the type of visa, and the specific consular or immigration office handling the application. It may sometimes take anywhere from a few days to several weeks or even months.

6. Decision and Visa Issuance

If the visa application is approved, the consular or immigration authorities will issue the visa, which may be a sticker affixed to the applicant’s passport or an electronic visa (e-visa) sent via email. If the application is rejected, the applicant may receive an explanation for the decision and information on any appeals process if available.

7. Travel

Once the visa is issued, the passport and visa are checked and delivered to the client.
