Reviewing Your Status
After submission, you can monitor the progress of your file online. By entering your passport number and the code sent to your email, you can see if your request is under review or finalised.
Why Requests May Be Refused
Inconsistencies in travel dates or mismatched document numbers are the most common causes for a delay. Always verify that the digital copies you upload are bright and easy to read.
