r/visas

My employer is not ready to address the letters to the consulate.

They have a standard format that is addressed “To whomsoever concerned”

Is this ok?

Anyone who has submitted this way?

My application was received in JAPAN Embassy on May 8th.

There is no update since then.
Anyone who applied around the same dates, did you get your visa already?

Hello everyone,

So I applied for my Georgia visa in March and its valid till 2nd Sept. Now, I want to go in Sept end and need to reapply my visa. Can I apply it June while my visa is still valid?

The main reason to apply now is because the flights are getting very very expensive and I wish to book them now.

Please help me and tell me your suggestions

I live in India and want to visit Dubai for a week, I already have all the reservations and flights to and return booked with confirmation. I was looking for a place to apply visa. I've seen mixed reviews on applying visa through makemytrip, I found that there's an alternative called ATLYS and they claim to be very fast and there are a lot of good review to support that.

I was wondering if anybody had an experience with them recently be it positive or negative. I'd greatly appreciate any input.

I am a US citizen and will be studying abroad in London this fall and will be getting an ETA type of visa. However, I am planning on going to France a week earlier than when my study abroad program starts. I am also researching how the European Union is planning on changing some of their rules when it comes to visas and curious if that will affect me?

Will I be able to get two visas at the same time? any guidance or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sharing my recent experience in case it helps someone planning to apply.

I applied on 8th May and received the notification on 20th May to collect the passport from VFS(it was approved)

My Documents:

• Completely filled & signed visa application form

• Travel itinerary

• Cover letter stating I will bear my own expenses & employer NOC

• Latest ITR

• Last 3 months’ bank statements

• Non-refundable return flight tickets

• Hotel booking confirmations

Note: I tried submitting a copy of my mutual fund and stock holding statement but they returned it back to me.

I kept everything transparent, structured and consistent across the documents, the dates need to tie up properly

Total processing time: 8 working days.

Tips: Take photocopies of your passport and avoid bringing your laptop since they charge 500 for locker services and you will not need your laptop and they also charge heavily for photocopies and printouts.

Super smooth experience overall.

If anyone is applying soon and has questions, feel free to ask — happy to help

Has anyone applied for Japan visa around 8th May.
Just wanted to check on processing timelines.
My application reached the consulate on 11th May and is showing currently processing.

Hello! I'm posting this on behalf of my sister as she was the one who has this issue. We're planning to go to Saudi Arabia this Eid by car and our visas already got approved.

However when she saw the file of her approved visa, she found out that there is an error in her Qatar resident visa number. The other details are all correct.

Would this be an issue and will she not be allowed to enter the country?

Thank you.

Hi, my partner has a criminal conviction in 2015 - he went to prison for 8 months (it was completely non violent but fraudulent).

We want to visit the USA (NYC) and was wondering if he submitted a visa would the embassy ask for his work etc? Understandably it’s completely non relevant and it’s spent here in the UK. Also what are chances of approval and how does the process work?

Thanks in advance!

Have applied for japan tourist visa through an agent. My current address is some other state, and my passport was issued in another (different jurisdictions).

My address in all the official government documents remains the same from where my passport has been issued (not my current residential address).

Agent asked for a letter of residential address from fhe employer, provided that, 20 days has passed, now they are saying VFS won't accept anything other than aadhar card. What to do?

Hey everyone. I'm planning to go to the USA to visit my uncle and I'm going to stay with him and he's going to be paying for everything (flight and accommodation).

What documents do I need from him for my interview appointment? Like to prove everything.

Last year I applied for and was denied a tourist visa to a certain country, X. No explanation was given but there is a stamp of the refusal in the last page of my passport. Recently, a 30 day visa-free travel policy has been put into effect there for citizens of my country. I lived in country X for several years and, after I left, obtained a police clearance certificate showing that I have no crimes against my name there. Is there any reason why I shouldn't avail myself of the visa-free policy to visit the country this year?

I recently applied my japan visa and got rejected despite having all documents and it was through an agent. And they said that the cause of rejection might be my finances so i was wondering how much should i have in my bank for a trip of 15 days. Sponsoring my wife and son too! Itinerary would be mid-heavy schedule.

Hi! I’m an Indian citizen, on H1-B, and planning a trip from US to Bali, Bali to Singapore, and return from Singapore to US. Bali to Singapore and Singapore to US are two separate tickets but 84 hours apart.
I don’t have enough time to get an evisa and was wondering if VFTF would work in my case. I called the Singapore embassy in the US asking for eligibility and all they said was that VFTF was not a guarantee and would depend on the immigration officer. Their response didn’t instil a lot of confidence, hence would like to confirm if someone had a similar experience.
