VISA: HAPPILY APPROVED OR MOURNFULLY REFUSED

“I want a greener pasture for my future!”

The word visa is derived from Latin charta visa which means, “paper that has been seen”. It is more commonly a stamp endorsed in the applicant’s passport or it can be a document that authorizes a person to enter the country that “issued” the visa.

It is everyone’s dream to go to The United States of America, Europe etc. to search for a better quality of living and aim for the bulls eye of success.

A better quality life can be measured for most of us according to the size of house we have. Most of all a big fat bank account! Are you one of these people? If your answer is YES, then you are indeed a person who has a vision for their life and is still learning about what makes a successful life.

The visa application procedure is kinda tricky and not so easy to comprehend. A way to get a better understanding of the procedure is by reading, How? We live in a world where many of the things we intend to do, are just at our finger-tips. New technology will help you to find information and provide websites for you to read; will answer the enquiries you have and augment your knowledge on how to process the application. In this way you will be hands-on with your form, if you are not a languid ant!

There are a few countries that will allow you to enter without a visa, however the rest oblige you to have it in your passport. In order for you to find it easier to search for information it is good to know where you really want to go for a visit, work, settlement, study etc.

Commonly, applicants will go to a travel agency to seek their assistance, all throughout the processing period. For this type of help there will be a charge for the service of dealing with your application and sharing of esoteric information which they have already in hand. Be sure you have funds to finance this help. As these agencies have experience of the procedures and often know how to find work it is indeed a really good option for applicants who want to go abroad for work (without having an employer ) or for study purposes.

Learning is living...

A few assertive applicants will find information regarding the visa application procedure online. It is a hit or miss method of finding answers, however its not wasteful as it feeds our brain. If you have your own computer and Internet, search for the country’s visa application website and carefully read what is written. Particularly the type of visa you want to apply and the checklist, which shows the documents needed. Sometimes, you will encounter statements that are slightly technical and a way to clarify these is by either calling the customer service helpline number of the visa department or by sending an e-mail that of course is free and won’t cost you a penny but you need to wait for 1-2 working days for the feedback.

It is not just the visa department that may answer technicalities as travel agencies can provide, too. If you are a regular customer or if you know someone working inside an agency you can ask questions and make sure it will not sound like an investigation- be casual in the conversation and insert the question you want to raise in a discerning manner.

Visa is not just an ordinary stamp that is available in any shop and you are off to go. It is an application procedure that needs focus to fully understand the consequence. Once you are confident that you have all the documents for your type of visa, you will have the courage that you can process it practically (hands-on) as it costs nothing.
 
If you stop learning, you stop living!
