Finnish visa preparation
Traveling abroad is a cherished desire for many. Many people dream of visiting one or more European countries, enjoying the local culture and quality of service. Of course, regardless of the purpose of your trip, as well as whether you are traveling alone, with your family or as part of one of the tourist groups, in order to enter the territory of the Schengen states, you will need a Schengen visa.
Registration procedure
Today we will talk only about the Finnish visa, namely, about its readiness. This document can be issued by visiting the Consulate General of Finland in St. Petersburg or the Finnish Visa Application Centre. By the way, there are quite a lot of the latter in the North-West region. So, what do the terms of readiness of the Finnish visa depend on?
Several factors influence the readiness of a visa to the Republic of Finland.
It should be noted that the readiness of a visa to this country depends on various circumstances. Let's take a look at some of them:
- Where your Finnish visa is issued. Visa Application Center employees, for example, may be faster or slower than consular staff. By the way, the cost of the center's services often depends on when the visa is ready;
- How well you prepared each necessary document. Of course, a lot also depends on you. If you do everything right the first time, you will probably get a visa much faster. Timely submission of biometric information (digital photograph and fingerprints, required to apply for a visa from September of this year), the required number of other papers drawn up according to the rules, give you reason to hope that the visa expert will consider your case as quickly as possible;
- Whether you are applying for a regular or urgent visa. Of course, the cost of processing urgently will be twice as high as usual. But in this case, the Finnish visa will be ready much earlier;
- Have you ordered a visa by mail. In addition to the fact that the document is issued on the territory of the cart center and the Consulate General of Finland in St. Petersburg, a visa can also be sent to you by courier mail. The cost of this service, as a rule, justifies its practical value, because you will not need to visit the consulate a second time.
How to find out about the readiness of the Finnish visa?
The visa center and the consulate allow you to find out all the necessary information on the site. With the tracking number that is given to you, you can always stay up to date with your case, and the innovations of September will not interfere with this. As soon as the document is ready, you can find out about it from the e-mail from the visa center, and pick up the Schengen visa.
