Have a hard copy of the appointment confirmation email with you, which you got after booking.
Your passport or travel document should have at least 2 blank pages.
Bring a hard copy of your filled-out visa application form. Small handwritten corrections are permitted at the visa centre.
Remember to bring all necessary supporting documents for your application.

Individuals for whom fingerprinting is not possible, with a medical certificate as proof.
Heads of State, government members, and official delegations on duty.

Photo Requirements: Your photo should clearly show your face without sunglasses or head coverings (unless for religious or ethical reasons). Opt for brightly coloured clothing rather than light shades.

Bringing Children Along: If you're bringing children under 18, they must be accompanied by an adult.

No Electronic Items: Electronic items like laptops, watches, and USB drives are best left at home, as you may need to place them in a locker, potentially at a high cost.
