Some visas include a short interview at the embassy or visa centre. It can feel stressful, but good preparation makes a big difference.
Before the interview
- Read your application form again so you remember what you wrote.
- Put your documents in a clear, logical order.
- Bring originals and copies.
- Plan your journey so you arrive early.
Questions you may be asked
- Why are you travelling?
- How long will you stay?
- Where will you stay?
- Who is paying for your trip?
- What do you do at home (work or study)?
During the interview
Stay calm, listen carefully and answer clearly. Short, honest answers are best. If you do not understand a question, it is fine to politely ask the officer to repeat it.
After the interview
You may be told the next steps straight away, or you may need to wait. Keep your reference number and check for updates using the official channels.
Tip: Do not memorise answers word for word. Just know your plans well and speak naturally.
