Before you submit
- Names and dates must match across every document, including the spelling in your passport.
- Keep a full copy of what you submit — you will need it for renewals and later applications.
- Do not book non-refundable travel until the visa is in your passport.
- Never submit a document you know to be false. A refusal for deception follows you across countries for years.
