Visa

You may submit your application at the Canada Visa Application Centre. Applications may also be submitted to IRCC by using IRCC ’s online application system (E-Apps).

In some cases, there may be no Canadian embassy or Visa Application Center in your country of residence. In cases like this, you’ll have to travel to another country with a Visa application center to apply for a Canada visa.

However, you should only apply for a visa at the Canadian embassy or VAC responsible for the country you are a legal resident of.

The Canada visa fee depends on what type you are applying for. There are also other fees you must pay, such as a biometrics fee and a processing fee. A normal Visitor Visa fee is $CAN100.

If your Canada visa application is rejected, you can re-apply again at any time, on the condition that your rejection letter does not forbid you from re- applying again. However, you can re-apply only if your situation has changed or you have additional information that may help you get a Canada visa approval.

If a specified time was not indicated on your passport on arrival, the general rule of thumb is that Temporary Visas are valid for a period of 6 months. However, you can apply for an extension but you should apply 3 months before your Temporary Visa expires.

You qualify for the Visa Waiver Program if you are a citizen of a Visa Waiver Program country, possess a machine-readable passport, are traveling for temporary business or a visit of less than 90 days, meet other program requirements, and have obtained an authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). You must be a citizen of a Visa Waiver Program-eligible country in order to use this program.

Permanent residents of VWP-eligible countries do not qualify for the Visa Waiver Program unless they are also citizens of VWP-eligible countries.

We recommend you visit the Visa Waiver Program website before any travel to the U.S. to determine if you are eligible for the VWP.

ESTA registration is required for all travelers to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program. There is a US $14.00 fee for ESTA registration. The fee can be paid online using a debit card or any of the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. Third parties (travel agents, family members, etc.) can pay your ESTA fee for you if you do not have the correct type of credit card. If the ESTA registration is denied, the fee is only US $4.00.

Visa Waiver Program travelers who have not obtained approval through ESTA should expect to be denied boarding on any air carrier bound for the United States. If you are allowed to board, you can expect to encounter significant delays and possible denial of admission at the U.S. port of entry (i.e., arrival airport). ESTA registration usually only takes a few minutes to complete, authorization often arrives in seconds, and it is valid for two years.

If I am a third-country national living in Nigeria, can I apply for a nonimmigrant visa in Nigeria? Applicants are generally advised to apply in their country of nationality or residence. Any person who is legally present in Nigeria may apply for a visa in Nigeria. However, applicants should decide where to apply based on more than just convenience or delay in getting an appointment in their home district.

One thing to consider, for example, is in which consular district the applicant can demonstrate the strongest ties. There is no guarantee that a visa will be issued, nor is there a guarantee of processing time. If refused, there is no refund of the application fee.

Yes, for most applicants. There are only a few exceptions to the interview requirement. The following applicants generally do not have to appear in person: Applicants for A1, A2 (official travelers on central government business), C2, C3 (central government officials in transit on central government business) or G1, G2, G3, G4 (central government officials traveling in connection with an international organization, or employees of an international organization).

Each nonimmigrant visa application is a separate process. You must apply in the normal manner, even if you had a visa before and even if your current nonimmigrant visa is still valid.

Every person is allowed to apply for a Schengen visa as long as they can get all the required documentation in order and possess the financial means to maintain themselves during their stay to the Schengen area.

Depending on the purpose/nature of your travel there are three major types of Schengen visas issued by the designated Embassy/Consulate.

The Uniform Schengen Visa stands for a permit of one of the Schengen Area Member Countries to transit or resides in the desired territory for a certain period of time up to a maximum of 90 days every six-month period starting from the date of entry.

The Limited territorial validity visa allows you to travel only in the Schengen State that has issued the visa or in some other cases, in the certain Schengen States specifically mentioned when applying for the visa.

The national visa is granted to certain individuals who are to be studying, working, or permanently residing in one of the Schengen countries.

According to the purpose of traveling the Uniform Schengen Visa applies to all of the two categories, “A” and “C”.

“A” category stands for the Airport Transit Visa which allows its holder to travel through the international zone of the Schengen Country Airport without entering the Schengen Country Area. The airport transit visa is mandatory for the citizens traveling from one non-Schengen state to another non-Schengen state through a change of flights in a Schengen Country airport.

“C” category stands for a Short-term visa which allows its holder to reside in a Schengen Country (Schengen Area) for a certain period of time depending on the visa validity.

While the Airport Transit Visa allows its holder to travel through the international zone of the Schengen Country Airport without entering the Schengen Country Area. The Transit visa allows its holder to transit within no more than 5 days through more than one Schengen country by car, coach or plane on the way to a non-Schengen country.

Single-entry visa allows its holder to enter a Schengen Area only once for a certain period of time. Once you leave the Schengen Area you entered the visa validity expires, even if the time period allowed to stay in the Schengen Area is not over yet, while Multiple-entry visa allows its holder to go in and out of the Schengen Area as pleased.

Limited territorial validity is a document that allows one to travel only in the Schengen State that has issued the visa or in some other cases, in the certain Schengen States specifically mentioned in the itinerary when applying for the visa. Apart from these Schengen countries, this specific
visa is invalid to any other Schengen country not specified prior.

Applicants answering “self-employed” or “unemployed” to the question regarding their current employment status on a Russian visa application will need to provide copies of their bank statements for the last full three months to demonstrate that they can fund their trip. Where the applicant’s home address matches their work address, they will also be asked to provide bank statements, unless the applicant can provide a letter from their company stating that they are a company employee.

Please note: The applicant cannot sign this letter themselves. Homemakers retired people, and students are not required to submit the bank statements in any event.

Generally speaking, Russian visas cannot be extended except in cases such as:

• Missing your flight.
• Accident.
• Serious illness.

Seat unavailability in case of an open-date ticket. In all the cases mentioned above, You can extend your visa for up to 2 weeks and you will need to provide the appropriate documents to prove your case.

The cost of the exit visa varies according to circumstances and will be between £100 to £250. If you believe that you may need to stay for more than 30 days, you should consider a business visa.

In the unfortunate event, that you lose your Russian visa or this is stolen, you need a replacement exit visa. First of all, you must contact a local police precinct and make a request for an official document confirming that your visa was lost. To make the processing easier we recommend you to state that your documents were lost, not stolen. Then, you need to get a new passport from the British Embassy in Moscow.

With the documents mentioned above, you need to have one matt-finished photo and your return ticket (with the fixed returned date) then you should go to our Moscow office. We will process a new exit visa for you.

Please note: The processing takes no less than 5 business days.

You may “Import” into the Russian Federation up to $10,000 (or equivalent) and “export” up to $3,000 without declaring it at the customs. If you export a sum of money over $3,000 and up to $10,000 from Russia it must be declared upon departure. If you are exporting a sum of over $10,000 from the country you must provide documentary proof that you either imported it into the country or have legally obtained it whilst in the country.

If you complete a declaration form to state that you are bringing in more than $3,000 you must ensure that it is stamped by a Customs official at your port of entry or it will not be valid. Declaration forms are freely available at the ports of entry. If you cash travelers’ cheques or obtain money from a bank, make sure you keep all documents as proof.
