However, this timeline applies only when no further documentation is needed after submission. If the authorities require additional materials, the process may take longer.
What applicants must know before applying
The requirement to appear in person at the point of submission means applicants cannot rely on third parties or postal channels to lodge their applications.
Prospective travellers are advised to gather all necessary documents before attending their appointment, as incomplete submissions could affect how quickly a decision is reached.
Authorities have not specified the full list of required documents in this guidance, but applicants are encouraged to confirm requirements in advance to avoid delays.
