Appointment Constraints
Guideline⏳
Appointment Support Letter
Visa appointments, specifically for the Schengen territory, are scarce due to a sudden increase in the volume of travellers and a shortage of visa sticker stock. Premium/ Walk-in options are available for some but are extremely unpredictable and ever-changing.
We are finding that one-week certain Lodgement Centre offer an expedited option, and the next it’s suspended.
Therefore, please speak to your Consultant before confirming a trip. We also recommend using our urgent appointment request form to assist with earlier appointments. A Visas Zone representative will submit it on your behalf and provide feedback on the outcome.
Bangladesh Visas
The visa processing battle with the Bangladesh authorities seems to be far from over.
The current processing time is 4-6 months, but visas can still be facilitated through Visas Zone.
Planning well before your departure date and discussing all possible options with your visa consultant before confirming flights and other travel plans is advisable.
It is also imperative that the host company or person motivate the application through the Home Office in Bangladesh. This may assist and reduce the processing time.
Congo Visa Stickers
The Congo Pretoria run out of visa stickers. they are working to resolve the problems but do not have an estimated time frame.
This means that all pending visa applications cannot be processed in due course, and we request your patience.
