We at Global Visas offer you some handy hints as to how to most efficiently secure your all important work visa:
1. Patience is paramount in the visa process.
We all know someone who thinks the rules don’t apply to them. But Immigration laws apply to everyone equally and the process takes time. In only very exceptional cases, fast tracking visas is possible, but in most cases, the visa process must run its set course. Make sure you plan well head, allowing plenty of time for the visa(s) to be granted.
2. Don’t book a flight until the visa has been issued.
This may sound like obvious advice, but even the most straightforward cases can be delayed. Recently we had a client who booked a flight thinking the case visa would be issued in ample time. Unfortunately the employee’s passport was expiring within six months and this prevented a visa being granted. The visa would have taken 24 hours to secure. His passport took six weeks to renew.
