Visa application itinerary

Follow these six steps to understand requirements, documents, process, fees, and what to expect when applying through Velotrav.

Visa Details Employment / work visa overview

Work and employment-linked visas are tied to a specific employer, contract, or quota in most countries. Timelines are longer and document sets are heavier than tourist or business visitor routes.

You will usually need police clearance, medicals, attested education and experience documents, and employer sponsorship filings in a fixed order.

Typical use: Employer-sponsored roles, intra-company transfers, long postings
Processing: Often several weeks to months; depends on quotas and medicals
Dependents: Spouse/children filings can run parallel — we map dependencies

Required Documents What we help you prepare

We help you understand which stage you are in: offer → sponsorship → entry visa → residence permit (where applicable).
Attestations and translations: we flag what must be original, apostilled, or notarised before submission.
Dependents: if spouse or children travel with you, we map their filings alongside the main applicant.
