2

Compile Requirements

Gather all necessary documents, which include your passport, application form, criminal record certificate, and proof of economic means.

3

Submit and Interview

Submit your application dossier. You may be required to attend a consular interview.

  • β€”Recent passport-sized photographs
  • β€”Police clearance or criminal record certificate

Important Tips
