Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend applying at least 4-6 weeks before your intended travel date. During peak seasons or for countries with manual processing, 8-12 weeks is safer. e-Visas and visa-on-arrival options are typically processed within 24-72 hours.
It depends on the destination country's immigration laws. Some allow extensions at local immigration offices, while others require you to leave and reapply. Overstaying can result in fines, bans, or deportation. Always check local regulations before your stay expires.
Visa refusals typically come with a reason and an appeal window. Common reasons include incomplete documentation, insufficient funds, or unclear travel intent. You may reapply after addressing the issues, or consult a qualified immigration advisor. VoyageLux can assist with document review before reapplication.
Many countries offer transit visas or allow airport transit without entering the country. However, if you need to clear customs, collect baggage, or switch terminals outside the secure zone, a transit or short-stay visa may be required. Check your airline and airport regulations carefully.
