Important Notes

    The order status must reach “Passport to be submitted” before documents can be dropped off to our office.
  • Before submission, applicants must complete and print:
    • the cover page, and
    • the preliminary-review-approved screenshot.

If either printed document is missing,GCV reserves the right to refuse acceptance or disqualify the application from Type B discounted pricing.

  • The “Additional reminders from the consul” in the upper-right corner must be clicked open, showing the full message box before taking the screenshot and printing it.
  • If the “Additional reminders from the consul” displays “TO CALL”, please contact us before submitting your documents.
