Whether you’re visiting relatives, going abroad for work or school, or planning that dream travel, an important thing to secure in many countries is the visa. Not having a visa stamp on your passport will not allow for such a trip, so it’s crucial that you take time to make sure that you get the application approved. Here are some important tips.

The main thing to remember is to accomplish all the required forms and documents. Many visa applications are bogged down by incomplete papers, forcing applicants to travel back and forth to the embassy or consulate. Again, you cannot skip any document, as most embassies will just reject incomplete submissions. Save yourself the worry and headache.

An important add-on tip here is to never, ever submit fake or “doctored” documents as these will most likely be detected, outright preventing your visa approval and banning you from future travels in the destination country.

Make sure that your passport has not expired or set to expire soon. Obviously, you won’t get anywhere abroad without your passport, and if it’s near expiration, the embassy staff will just question it. Renew your passport way before applying for a visa.

Lastly, prove that you are well-traveled. If you’ve visited the country before, show stamps even if they are on an older passport. Bring evidence of bookings or travel tickets to other destinations with you. The idea is to communicate to the embassy people that you have traveled overseas before and have not overstayed.
