Step 3: Select the Type of Visa
Once your account is created, log in and select the appropriate type of visa you're applying for (e.g., Tourist Visa, Business Visa, Medical Visa, etc.).
Step 4: Fill Out the Application Form
Carefully fill out the online visa application form by providing accurate information, including your personal details, passport details, travel information, and purpose of visit. Make sure all the information provided is correct and as per your supporting documents.
Step 5: Upload Documents
Scan and upload the required supporting documents as specified in the guidelines. These may include your passport copy, photograph, proof of accommodation, return flight details, and other relevant documents based on the purpose of your visit. Ensure the documents are in the specified formats and within the maximum allowed file size.
