Boundaries that matter

What this page does not promise

A private information page can help organise a travel file, but it cannot guarantee approval, a fixed processing time, a particular fee or entry. Do not use a visitor route for employment, residence or another activity that the issued permission does not cover.

  • A search result or nationality example is not an eligibility decision.
  • Do not submit a tourist application for another activity.
