Crucial Application Reminders
Applying for a multiple-entry visa requires concrete evidence. Without the exact documents proving your chosen category—such as old passports, tax records, or employment certificates—the multiple-entry request will be denied, though the embassy may still evaluate you for a single or double-entry visa. Never check the "Multiple Entry" box unless your paperwork flawlessly backs up your profile.
