Tourist visa

For holidays, sightseeing, and visiting friends & family — with clear paperwork and realistic timelines.

Visa application itinerary

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

Visa Details Tourist visa overview
Tourist visas are for people travelling for leisure, visiting friends or family, or short sightseeing trips — not for paid work in the destination country.

Consulates look for a clear travel purpose, realistic itinerary, proof you can pay for the trip, and evidence you intend to return home (employment, studies, property, or family ties). Requirements vary widely by nationality and destination.
  • Typical use: Leisure, tourism, short family visits
  • Processing: Varies by destination; we advise after profile review
  • Entry pattern: Single or multiple entry — as per embassy rules for your nationality
Required Documents What we help you prepare
  • Typical documents: passport, application form, photos, bank statements, hotel or host details, return tickets where required.
  • We help you avoid weak or inconsistent dates, generic itineraries, and bank statements that do not match your story.
  • If you need a sponsor or invitation letter, we review wording so it supports — not contradicts — your application.
