With proper planning and guidance from Marvel Travels – Corporate & Leisure, your visa process can be smooth, timely, and stress-free. Start early and enjoy a worry-free summer getaway!
1. Don’t Wait—Apply Early
The earlier you start your visa process, the better. Many countries let you submit your visa application up to 3 months before your journey, and for places in Europe’s Schengen zone, you can even apply 6 months ahead. With so many people traveling this year, applying early can save you from delays or last-minute panic.
2. Know How Long It Takes
Every country has its own timeline for checking and approving visa applications. Some applications get processed quickly, while others take weeks—especially during busy seasons like summer. While visa service centers usually handle paperwork fast, final approval comes from embassies and may take longer. Make sure to check the current processing time on the country’s official website before booking anything.
3. Follow the Checklist Carefully
One of the main reasons visa applications are delayed is due to incomplete documentation. Before applying, review the visa requirements thoroughly and contact MTCL to get the official checklist. Make sure you have all the necessary documents prepared. Also, double-check your passport’s validity—many countries require it to be valid for at least six months beyond your return date.
4. Book Your Appointment Early
Visa appointment slots fill up quickly when travel season is in full swing. To make sure you get a date and time that works for you, book your appointment online in advance. It’s also a good idea to show up at the visa center at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to avoid missing your slot.
5. Keep an Eye on Your Application
Once you’ve submitted your documents, you can track your visa application online to stay updated. You’ll get a notification when your passport is ready to be collected or delivered. But remember, once your application is in the hands of the embassy or consulate, even travel agencies can’t speed up the process or track it further.
