Processing Time

Normally, after submitting the passport to the Consular Office, it will take 1 week to get the visa.

When filling out the application form online, applicants can select “Regular” or “Express” processing method. However, this selection does not affect the timeline of the review phase. The expedited processing will only accelerate the procedure after the online review has been approved and physical documents have been submitted offline. Once the “Express” request is approved, it will take 2-3 working days to get the visa, which needs an additional fee. The consular officer may need to extend the processing time based on a case-by-case review.
