Category wizard
The wrong country or category can get your application refused at the provider and the service fee lost.[1][2]
This tool never connects to any appointment system (iDATA, VFS, TLS, BLS) and never applies on your behalf.
Rules used
- Several countries: longest stay; if equal, first visited. Apply where you legally reside.[3]
- If category and documents do not match, the application is not accepted; other purposes can be explained in an optional cover letter.[4][1]
- iDATA: purpose cannot be changed after booking; family travelling with a business applicant book separately under tourism.[2]
