- Wait for the decision and confirm entry deadline, fees and registration with SERMIG.

After approval
Read the entire approval notice: identity, dates, entry deadline and conditions. Keep it available offline. Do not assume the visa starts on your preferred date.

- Initial funds, insurance and departure costs checked separately.
- First accommodation and airport transport arranged.
