An effective travel plan is as imperative as obtaining a visa in time. As you know, different countries have different entry prerequisites; and there is nothing agonising than getting one’s visa application rebuffed in last minute. Here’s what that can help you to be quite observant and avoid such last minute hassles:
Proper travel plan
One of the foremost points of consideration for a traveller is to plan his/her trip properly. Once a traveller is quite sure about his/her travel destination and purpose of visit, he/she can apply for the relevant visa category accordingly. Proper planning of international trip may include certain crucial aspects like; travel itinerary, reservation of tickets and hotels, baggage, insurance etc. Early ticket booking always helps a traveller to end the deal in a win-win situation.
Visa application
Applying for a relevant visa and getting its entire prerequisites done is another aspect of an effective travel plan. Therefore, applicants should read out all visa related information carefully before applying for the same. However, applying for a visa not necessarily ensures your access to a foreign territory unless your visa application gets approved by the visiting country’s immigration officers. Prospective applicants can apply for a visa either online or by visiting the Visa Application Centre (VAC) individually. The process of visa application usually contains submission of all essential documents along with the visa form. While submitting the duly signed visa application form, applicants are asked to pay the visa fees. Thereafter, the visa application is sent to the respective Embassies for their approval.
Document specification
An international trip is always less upsetting if all the documents provided by an applicant are authentic and meets the required visa guidelines as set by the relevant Embassy. As an applicant there are certain obligatory documents that you need to cater while submitting your visa application. These documents include; a valid passport, confirmed tickets, recent photographs, travel/medical insurance, income statement etc. Besides, enclosure of some additional documents likes cover letter, invitation letter, proof of accommodation, proof of occupation etc. may also be required to submit. Falling short of catering any genuine documents may straightway rebuff your visa application.
While travelling to a foreign territory, it is always imperative for an applicant to support his/her pecuniary steadiness so that the applicant can support his/her expenditures in the visiting nation without becoming a burden on that country’s economy. Therefore, applicants are required to prove that they hold adequate funds to support their stay in the country till they exit the periphery of the visiting nation before the expiry of their visas.
These are some of the essential pointers that you need to take into consideration as a tourist. However, depending on your visa types the prerequisites may vary. So if you are yet to plan your international trip, give it a try and start planning accordingly.
