From 1 August 2016 onwards, all visa applicants are required to make an appointment for visa application through the Embassy's online visa appointment system.

After completing the online appointment process, an applicant will receive an visa application form, appointment confirmation, and checklist form, all of which must be printed and submitted to the Embassy along with other required documents. The Embassy shall NOT accept any application without an appointment confirmation; and the applicants without an appointment confirmation will be denied entry to the Embassy.
