How we source this information
Fees, processing windows and document lists are re-checked against the mission's official publication and the appointed application centre's portal, then cross-referenced with bookings our desk completed in the last 90 days. Where the two disagree, the official source is what we publish.
For this page that means the official embassy or consulate website and the appointed centre portal (VFS / BLS / TLScontact).
