My Advice
Prepare your financial documents carefully, since the proof of funds is a central part of the application. Check the current official checklist before you apply, as amounts and rules can change. If you need to stay beyond your visa validity, apply for a temporary residence permit before your legal stay ends, which since April 27, 2026 is done electronically.
