The girl I am writing to will apply for a VISA to visit me soon.
However, she says that she has to go to Moscow in order to get the VISA.
She says it takes 2 days to get there and needs money for the trip.
Can it really be true that she needs to visit the embassy in person?
Semms very complicated if that is true.
When I apply for VISAs for different countries, I just send the necessary papers to the embassy.
It would be impossible for me to travel if I had to visit the embassy in person.
It depends where are you from. Some countries really require the girl to visit the embassy for interview.Judging by your email you are from Sweden.
I just found some information in the Internet and also called to a couple of Moscow travel agencies and found out that thats true. To get a visa to Sweden one has to be in Embassy in person.
Here is a page in Russian about it:http://www.otd.ru/sweden/visa.html
And here is an official site of migration department of Sweden www.migrationsverket.se where you can verify this info.
Moscow is the only place that has a swedish embassy in Russia? If she lives far from Moscow, maybe there is one closer? I am sure both the Swedish and Netherlands embassies have websites to get all the information.
For visa to the Netherlands it's regrettably necessary to go in person to the Embassy in Moscow or the consulate in St. petersburg. Further information about visa's (and other travelinfo) can be obtained through the link to the MFA at www.minbuza.nl. There they will give direct info to the websites of the missions involved.
I need some help here,please help.
I met a guy,he lives in lebanon and he asked a person to help him with the aplication for a visa to come to Netherlands.
I want to ask if somebody here knows how long it takes for a visa to come to netherlands.
Because the person who is helping him with the visa sad that it takes only one month to get the visa.But I think it's not true.I was searching and I found out that it takes 3 to 6 months to get the visa.But the thing is that we want to get married.Can somebody help me with some answer here.What are his chances.Please help.
