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.

In only very exceptional cases, fast tracking visas is possible, but in most cases, the visa process must run its set course.

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.
