Why is it important to check Visa details

Organising a Visa for travel in another time-consuming, especially if you have heaps of paperwork that needs to be attached to the application.

Visa regulations defer from country to country and no two countries have the same requirements. It's always wise to check your visa as soon as you receive the returned passport, just to ensure that they have the correct details on your visa and that they match your passport.

Even if you are applying for an E-Visa, it's important that you check every detail to ensure they are identical to your passport.

At the end of the day, we are all human, and errors can happen. Some countries, don't even let you past their border with slight spelling errors in the name.

Another important aspect to look out for is the duration of your stay in the country. For example, when you travel to Europe, you cannot stay more than 90 days in total. If you do, then you need to ensure you apply for the relevant visa. There are varying rules throughout the continent. Do you need a transit visa? How long can you stay in transit without a visa?

Visa requirements change all the time. It's always best to check with your Travel Agent for the most current, up to date requirements.
