Processing Times
How long the e-Visa and embassy/in-country procedures take, with the caution that official timings should be confirmed.
Important
The official e-government portal describes the e-Visa as being applied for and approved online, with the approval sent by email, but the retrieved official text did not state a guaranteed processing time. Third-party services advertise standard and expedited tiers, which reflect their own service levels rather than an official guarantee.
Embassy long-stay visas and in-country steps (work authorisation, residence card) run on their own timelines. Apply well ahead of travel and confirm current timings directly with the portal, the relevant embassy, ANEFIP or the prefecture.
