What to verify first

Temporary residence decisions turn on purpose of travel, ties to your home country, funds and credibility. Check the current document requirements and any biometrics step before you apply.

How to prepare the file

Write a short, consistent purpose of travel and support it with employment or study evidence, property or family ties, a funds history, and a travel plan that matches what you wrote.

Questions to ask before you file

Ask what would make the application more credible, how a previous refusal affects this one, and how long a stay is actually being requested.

Always confirm the current requirements on the official source before acting. This guide is general information, not advice on your file.
