How to check whether the visa is issued?

It mainly depends on the visa application route submitted by the applicant and the visa processing process in the country where it is located.

I. official website Inquiry

In most countries, visa centers or immigration offices have official websites to provide visa application status inquiry services. Applicants can log on to the relevant websites and enter personal information such as application number and passport number according to the prompts to check the progress of visa processing. Usually, the website will update the visa status in real time, and the applicant can easily get the information about whether the visa is issued or not.

In addition to online inquiry, the applicant can also call the enquiry telephone number of the visa center or the immigration bureau for inquiry. Enquiry numbers are usually published in official website or in the application guide. Applicants need to provide personal information such as application number and passport number, so that staff can verify their identity and check visa status.

Third, mail inquiry.

Visa centers or immigration offices in some countries also provide mail inquiry services. The applicant can send the inquiry request to the designated mailbox, provide the necessary personal information and wait for the staff to reply. It should be noted that it may take some time to get a reply to the email inquiry, so it is not suitable for the situation that visa status is urgently needed.

Fourth, go to the visa center.

If there is a visa center in the city where the applicant lives, you can also go to the visa center to check the visa situation in person. In the visa center, the applicant can provide personal information such as application number and passport number to the staff, and the staff will assist in checking whether the visa is issued.

Different query methods have their own characteristics, and applicants can choose the most suitable query method according to their actual situation. It should be noted that there may be differences in visa processing procedures and time in different countries, and applicants should understand and follow the relevant regulations in advance.
