Applying for a visa can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating different requirements for various countries.

Applying for a visa can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating different requirements for various countries. At Terratag Travel Agency, we simplify the process by helping you prepare all the necessary documents, saving you time and avoiding costly delays.


Here are the key documents you typically need for a visa application:

1. Valid Passport

Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay. Make sure it has enough blank pages for visa stamps.


2. Completed Visa Application Form

This is the official form provided by the embassy or consulate of your destination. Accuracy and consistency with other documents are crucial.


3. Passport Photographs

Most applications require recent passport-sized photos. Follow the specific size and background color guidelines of the destination country.


4. Proof of Travel

A flight reservation or travel itinerary shows your entry and exit plans. Some embassies prefer booked return flights.


5. Proof of Accommodation

This could be a hotel reservation, an invitation letter from a host, or a lease agreement, depending on your trip type.


6. Financial Evidence

Bank statements, payslips, or a sponsor’s letter show that you can support yourself during the trip. Some countries specify a minimum amount per day.


7. Travel Insurance

Many countries require valid travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, especially for Schengen or study visas.


8. Purpose-Specific Documents

These include:

  • Work Visa: Employment letter or contract

  • Student Visa: Admission letter from the institution

  • Visitor Visa: Invitation letter and sponsor’s documents

  • Relocation Visa: Proof of relocation plan, housing, and ties to home country

Visa requirements vary by country, but Terratag is here to ensure you have everything in order for a smooth application process. Travel prepared—travel with confidence.
