Stay Visa Application Form

It is very easy to get a Schengen Visa from India, if you have all documentation in place. My family and I had applied for a Short Stay Tourist Schengen Visa via Switzerland and received it within 3 days of submission in March 2017 in Mumbai. I was travelling to France, Switzerland and UK with my wife and in-laws (All of us are Indian citizens living in India).My wife and I have travelled abroad several times however this was the first foreign trip for my in-laws. My father in-law and I also had sufficient funds (above Rs. 2 lakhs) maintained regularly in our 6 month bank account statements and sufficient income (above Rs. 5 lakhs per annum).The application procedure via VFS (Switzerland Visa Information - New Delhi (North and East India) - Home Page) is very straightforward. If you have any queries, you can call their helpline or mail them. I found them very cooperative and prompt at replying queries. Here is my experience so that others too can obtain their Visa easily.Create an account on Swiss Visa. You can fill multiple application forms for different people using the same account. I created an account and filled out the forms for all 4 of us.The application form is quite short. The Visa Authorities merely wish to confirm if you are a genuine applicant who will not stay back in Europe illegally. It is highly advisable to have a confirmed accommodation booking under your own name, along with the return travel tickets.After filling the forms, you have make the payment of Rs. 5850 per application and take an appointment. We picked the earliest possible appointment, which was on the next day. Print all the necessary forms including your Application Form, Application Checklist, Appointment Letter, Receipt, Passport Xerox, Travel Tickets, Hotel Reservations, Income Tax Returns, Bank Account Statements, Marriage Certificate (in case your spouse’s name is not mentioned in your passport), Travel Insurance, Cover Letter (explaining why are you applying for Visa) and anything else pertaining to your trip. It is better to give them extra information rather than have your application rejected over lack of sufficient information.signNow the Visa Application Centre before time. They have a token system and there is a certain waiting time there. We took nearly 3 hours to complete the entire process as our token number was being skipped due to some computer fault.As we were travelling together in a group, all our documents were bunched together for submission. The biometric data will be taken and you will be asked to leave immediately after all this.We received a mail and SMS after 2 days that our processed application was dispatched from Delhi. We picked up a sealed package with our name from the Application Centre on Day 3. When we opened the package, we had obtained the Visa on our Passports.Overall, it was a pretty simple procedure and it is easy to complete it by yourself with some guidance from the VFS Helplines. If you have all travel documents and finances in place, then you can confidently apply for the Visa without worry of rejection.FYI - Embassy norms dictate that one must obtain UK Visa prior to Schengen Visa irrespective of which country you enter first, if UK happens to be on your travel itinerary.

Great dream, DO IT!In my book (How to make your dream of living in another country a reality) I explained in details how to be successful in any visa application with or without a registered immigration agent. Here’s an extract from Chapter seven which will help answer your question:.......Visa application – the real dealWhen it comes to visa acquisition, the magic formula is to make sure your application is as strong as it can absolutely be.Getting a visa today to live and pursue your dream in a desired country is one of the best feelings in the world. It is an opportunity of a lifetime. I view the whole visa application venture as an investment. As aforementioned, it involves non-refundable fees and related expenses. It takes a lot of time and energy to gather the required documentation, fill out the application form and eventually submit. It also involves heaps of emotions since our travel dream is largely dependent on the ultimate outcome. This is why I always approach every visa application with all seriousness. Apart from one visitor visa that I was denied some time ago when I was an undergraduate student, all my other subsequent visa applications (student, work and residency visas) were approved. Six successes in total. Yay!Here are the keys to all my visa application successes:· As soon as I decide to apply for a visa, I make a written timetable and start organising supporting documents well in advance: Some of the RIGHT documents take weeks and even months to gather. I never rush!· Always save and have adequate funds to pay for the non-refundable adjudicating visa application. I hate losing to the immigration officials with no favourable results. Once bitten, twice shy!· I choose my application assistants carefully. Even though I principally complete the entire application form on my own, I never hesitate to seek help from trusted family members (such as my wife) and friends (those I know have been successful with the same visa type I am pursuing) if necessary. When I am unsure of anything, I contact the immigration department directly through emails or call their direct line. Sometimes, I will have to hold the call for over 45 minutes, but the officers are able to point me in the right direction.· Since I take full responsibility of the whole application process I ensure I read all available guidelines and information provided by the country’s official immigration website. The good news is that each application form has an accompanying guide, which is available for free on the official immigration websites. I carefully read the guide before attempting to complete any visa application form. I go over them multiple times so I don’t miss or misinterpret anything.· It is advisable to always check the credibility of any immigration consultant you select. To ensure you receive professional, honest and reliable advice, ensure you stick to the recommendation to always engage a licensed immigration adviser, registered immigration law specialist or designated government agency to assist you with your visa application. People often ask me if they should hire an immigration adviser. I have heard success stories from people I know who used their service. It is important to note that applying for a visa is very personalised and circumstance based. In the worst-case scenario, assuming due to my circumstances, I need personalised immigration help from a consultant, I will choose them carefully. Nowadays, there are many consultants and travel agents who claim they can answer all the technical questions and help you with your visa application to varying degrees. Beware of the scammers out there!· I complete the application forms with all the attention they deserve and supply all the right requirements. Accuracy and consistency is very important to me! I avoid incomplete or vague information. I just follow the instructions in the application guide, complete the application form and submit it on my own.· I arrange the documents in the specified order. I aim to make the immigration officer’s job of reviewing and reading through my application pack as easy and simple as possible.· I stay away from pitfalls such as providing false or fraudulent information. I am very aware that the authenticity of all the information and documents I supply will be verified. I am reminded that, if I’m banned or blacklisted, it could have a negative effect on my future visa applications. I move away from being in a fool’s paradise by believing the immigration officials will be lenient or understanding if I make mistakes or errors. It is my notion that these immigration officers will decline or fail my application based on my own errors............................................I wish you great success in your journeyCheers.LouisAuthor, How to make your dream of living in another country a reality

Let’s say that you decide to take a job offer today in Canada. You need a visa. You read the application paperwork. You look at the terms and conditions. You speak to someone at the Embassy and maybe an expert lawyer. The terms and conditions and duration of your stay in Canada are spelled out to you in very clear terms. You make a decision. And then you apply, on the understanding that if you get the visa, the Canadian Government will stick to its promises, and you will stick to yours.Congratulations. Your application has been successful. You jump on the plane and go.Then the Canadian Government unilaterally decides to drastically change the terms and conditions of your visa two or three years down the line. Not because of anything you have done. Not because of anything you have failed to do. It is simply politically convenient. Changes which potentially leave you in a real legal mess.How do you feel? The Canadian Government, a serious and stable government, has broken a legal promise it made with you, which you have stuck to, which pulls the legal rug from under your feet, and which you can do nothing about.This, is what most gets up my a**se. A supposedly sensible and cool-headed government has become almost Latin American in its arbitrariness, and does not seem to care that it is severely disrupting the legal security of millions of people, and at the same time claiming to act in the name of the people.It frankly feels like HMG has told millions of people that they can go and f**k themselves.This is exactly the situation that about 4m EU citizens are facing on both sides of the Channel. Myself included in this figure. We moved and made life plans on the basis of freedom of movement. We did not expect this to change. And we now find ourselves in a situation where the laws on visas, employment, emigration and residence could be retroactively applied in our cases.The rules have been drastically changed, but we don’t yet know what they are. The referendum was now almost 12 month ago and we are all still none the wiser as to what our legal situation will be after Brexit. In spite of some generous noises emanating from some leaders, nothing has been discussed or decided. The general mood is negative and confrontational. And we all feel unsure about our futures.The poster seem to think that this is no big deal. Here’s why it is a very big deal.Because visas and permits are not just doled out to anyone who asks for them, no questions asked, in spite of what you might read in the Daily Mail. The whole visa process is full of pitfalls.Because there are two possible answers to any visa application: YES or NO. You cannot guarantee the answer beforehand. There is a strong element of luck involved.Because your life plans become completely dependent on the opinion of a small committee of civil servants in an office far far away.Because a NO means you must immediately change the entire direction of your life.Because even with a YES, you cannot put in place any real long term plans while you are bound by the conditions and duration of a visa. Do not buy a house. Do not study. Do not go freelance or self-employed. Do not think about setting up a business. Do not enter a long term relationship with another human being. This becomes psychologically very draining after a while.Because a visa often ties you to one particular job with one particular company for a period of several years. You do not have full freedom of movement even inside your new adoptive country. You cannot job hop when a cooler opportunity comes along.Because having to constantly renew your papers, stand in line, and chase bits of paper from tax offices, employers, landlords, insurance companies, the local police, electricity and phone bills, bank statements, credit card companies and everyone else who can prove you were in a particular place at a particular time all becomes a serious serious pain in the arse, and makes you feel like a third class citizen.Living with this hassle is a big stress, and totally unfair for someone who already lives in the UK and has lived here for some time, is legal, productive, content. And suddenly finds that his legal security has been stripped away.

US Nationals do not need to arrange a visa prior to arrival. Visas for all US Nationals are US$50 single and US$80 doubleentry and can be paid for on arrival. If you are a British Citizen you will also require a visa to enter Zambia.

Visitors to Zambia must obtain a visa from one of the Zambian diplomatic missions unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries or countries whose citizens are eligible for visa on arrival.

The fee is US $50; Day Tripper Visa - A Day tripper visa is issued at a port of entry to a tourist who visits Zambia for a period of less than 24 hours and makes exit through the same port.
