Arranging a Visa - be prepared!
Securing a business visa for travel abroad can be a costly and time-consuming process. Visa applications for some countries, such as China, India and Russia can involve a wait of several hours if you apply in person, and if you make a small mistake you’ll have to start all over again. If you have a visa requirement we may be able to help you, but if you ever need to complete a visa application yourself, here are our top tips…
Do complete forms in black ink
Do makes sure your passport isn’t about to expire – you usually need at least six months on it
Do keep signatures within the signature box
Do make sure all the dates match
Don’t send passport covers with your passport
Don’t forget a covering letter
Don’t think that a tourist visa or visa waiver form will do
Don’t book a ticket until you get your visa
Don’t leave it too late – you can’t go to Russia tomorrow!
