Visa processing starts only after all necessary documents are submitted.
When having received your visa please check it for mistakes (passport number, date of birth, validity) and, if necessary, return it to the Consulate for corrections. The Consulate will not be responsible for any mistakes in the visas, which were not brought to our attention prior to your departure.
Please, note that visas cannot be changed or extended. If your travel plans have changed after the visa is issued you have to re-apply for another.
Any visa applicant may be interviewed by the consular officer if necessary.
