Route by route

Outside Schengen

Here the route itself differs (sticker visa, e-visa, visa on arrival or no visa), and so does the checklist.

A summary, not advice: requirements vary by embassy, nationality and visa type, and rules change without notice. Confirm the current checklist with the embassy, consulate or visa application centre. SureshotTravel prepares travel documents; it is not a visa consultancy and cannot promise a visa decision.
