Visa
Applications for visas need to be submitted in person, at most offices this is by appointment only. Please click here to schedule an appointment.
After processing, your passport with visa can be returned to you by mail or you can pick it up in person at the office you applied at.
The choice to have your passport and other original documents send back is made under your sole responsibility. The Embassy or Consulates do not accept any liability for damage or loss of documents.

For mailing within the USA you will need to submit a self-addressed label or envelope, recommended with tracking services:

When submitting a UPS or FedEx shipping label: make sure your complete payment information is filled out (credit card) and that you list your own address as the receiver AND the sender.
When submitting a US Postal Service Priority Mail Flat-Rate envelope: go to: http://www.usps.com. To calculate the shipping costs, use zipcode 20008, but make sure to list your own address as the receiver AND the sender on the envelope or label.

Note:
- Labels or emvelopes listing the embassy's address as the sender, will not be accepted
- Labels or envelopes marked COD (cash on delivery) will not be accepted
- Your shipping label or envelope needs to be submitted at the time of application and cannot be submitted to the regional support office at a later time.

Please note
In order to apply for a visa, you must have a valid signed passport with at least two empty pages.
The original date of issue of the passport must be within the last ten years. Passports older than ten years will be refused.
If your passport does not meet these requirements you will need to apply for a new passport before submitting your application.
