What is the penalty for filing ITR after the July 31 deadline
With demand for international travel exceeding industry expectations following the transient setbacks from the pandemic, the need to deeply understand the visa application process has assumed greater importance. Applying for your visa must be the first thing on a travellers’ mind as soon as the destination is finalised. We often plan our flights, stay and itineraries in advance and keep visa planning for the eleventh hour. This approach must change for seamless travel in the post-pandemic world.
As travel demand continues, limited availability of visa appointments and extended timelines for visa-decisions are a reality. Hence, applying for your visa well in advance is not a good-to-have but a must-have for seamless travel experience. Procrastination can lead to unnecessary stress and last-minute complications. Planning ahead allows ample time for the collection of necessary documents, scheduling appointments, and addressing any unforeseen issues that may arise during the application process.
Most countries accept visa applications up to 90 days (3 months) before your date of travel. According to the revised Schengen Visa Code, effective 02 February 2020, you can apply for a Schengen visa up to 6 months before your date of travel.
