(2) If I have indefinite leave/permanent residence in the UK do I still need a visa for Europe?
Ans: Having indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom does not affect whether you require a visa or not as visa requirements are
based on the passport that you travel on. You do require a visa to travel to Schengen countries. Though you can only travel (as for 08/2005)
to Switzerland if you have any British visa issued for more than 6 months (Please consult the Swiss embassy web-site).
TOP
(3) How long is the visa valid for?
Ans: Each embassy has its own stance on how long a visa will be issued for. Some are issued for the specific dates that you
are travelling (usually single entry), others may be multi-entry, some are valid from the day you apply others a valid from date of expected first entry.
TOP
(4) Is a visa guaranteed?
Ans: It is our job to make sure all your documents are in order, so there is a 95% chance of obtaining a visa for you. However
please note that, the decision to grant a visa, the duration of the visa and/or the type of visa is at the sole discretion of The Embassy/Consulate.
We are not responsible for any decision of the consulate. Please consult our Terms & Condition for more info.

(5) How long does it take to process visa?
Ans: The time it takes to obtain a visa varies between each country and in some cases is dependent on your nationality. Visas can take anywhere from
three day to ten weeks to obtain. In some cases as an agency we are able to obtain a visa in a shorter period of time relative to public applications.
(E.g. Schengen Countries)
TOP
(6) How many entries would it allow me?
Ans: Most people travel to a country once and so the embassies provide a single entry visa. (Exceptionally Schengen visas are issued as multiple)
TOP
(7) What are the requirements for obtaining a visa?
Ans: Requirements vary between countries. Some of the requirements requested by the embassies include:
1. Proof of travel (tickets, original travel agent itinerary)
2. Proof of accommodation (confirmed hotel reservations, official invitations)
3. Bank statements
4. Letter from your employer or letter from college if a student
5. Travel insurance.
6. Business invitations
Note: There might be more or less documents required. Please contacts us or check the web-site www.visatoeurope.com for details
Minors are generally required to provide written approval from both parents/legal guardians and submission of birth certificate and parents/legal guardians’ passports on application.

(8) Does the Schengen Agreement / Schengen Visa include the new countries that have joined the EU?
Ans: Although there have been a number of new countries (including Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic)
who have recently joined the EU - these countries have NOT yet joined the Schengen Agreement. As a result a
visa issued by a Schengen Country will NOT currently cover these new EU members and a visa from these new members will NOT cover you for travel to the Schengen countries.
TOP
(9) What is the difference between a single entry visa and multi entry visa?
Ans: A single entry visa allows the traveller to enter a country once during the validity of the visa issued. When the traveller has
left the country the visa is no longer valid and you would be required to re-apply for another visa if you wish to visit that country again. A multi entry visa will
allow you to enter/leave the country several times during the validity of the visa. In the case of a Schengen Visa you would be able to use a multi-entry visa to visit other Schengen countries.
TOP
(10) Why do I need a visa for some countries and not others?
Ans: Most visa requirements are based on reciprocal agreements between two countries. Some countries base visa requirements on diplomatic or historical relations.
TOP
(11) What is the difference between a tourist visa and a business visa?
Ans: In general, tourist visas are issued for the purpose of tourism, while a "business" visa permits a traveller to engage in normal
business related activities. The visa requirements for tourist and/or business visas may vary. Many countries that do not require tourist visas for UK passport holders
may require a visa for business purposes.
TOP
(12) Why must I have at least one full blank visa page (in some cases two) in my passport when I need to get a visa?
Ans: Most visas are stamped, or affixed, in your passport on the pages specifically marked for them, and foreign
consular officials require that visa stamps be placed on those pages that do not contain any other stamps or marks.
TOP
(13) I have a British passport do I need a visa to travel?
Ans: There are many countries that British passport holders do not require a visa for when travelling as a tourist
for short periods (usually for periods between 30 days to 180 days). In these cases it may be sufficient for the traveller to present a British
passport valid for at least six months, as well as a ticket showing a scheduled date of departure from the country being visited. Depending upon
the country, business visas are most often required for a traveller who has a commercial agenda in the destination country. WFB can assist British
citizens in obtaining visas for countries where they do need visas including Russia, India, China, Nepal, Vietnam, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Kenya and
Tanzania to name a few.
TOP
(14) What is a visa invitation or confirmation?
Ans: Visa invitations/confirmations are documents, often directly approved by the Foreign
Ministry of the country to be visited, that authorises a particular traveller to visit that country.
They typically state the dates and cities you are visiting, the name of a hosting organisation,
as well as an "official" reference number and seal of approval. This is particularly prevalent for Russia and many Schengen
countries. Required formats for invitations and confirmations vary by country.
