What happens to my application while I wait?

  1. The embassy will forward both your applications to UDI together.
  2. Your application to have the prohibition against entry lifted will be considered first.
  3. If the prohibition against entry is not lifted, you will be notified. Your application for a residence permit or visitor visa will then be automatically rejected.
  4. If the prohibition against entry is lifted, you will be notified. Your application for a visitor visa or residence permit will then be sent to another department for consideration. This department will decide whether you meet the requirements for being granted a visitor visa or a residence permit.
