Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

e-Visa processing is reported to take a few business days once a complete application is submitted. Consular visa applications should be lodged several days before travel, and processing time varies by mission.

Long-stay routes take considerably longer: employment authorisation, the long-stay visa and the subsequent residence card together can take several months. Apply well in advance and confirm current timelines with the DGDI or the relevant mission.
