For visa applications to countries outside the Schengen Area, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and Russia, identifying the correct visa category,
assessing country-specific application procedures and ensuring consistency between the information and documents submitted are important.
At Altun Vision, we assess your application in light of your purpose of travel, personal circumstances and the current rules of the country of application,
and coordinate the process from start to finish.
Altun Vision also provides advisory services for visa applications that are not covered by a dedicated country page, based on the applicant’s purpose of travel, personal profile and the current procedures of the country of application.
Visa systems differ from country to country. Some applications are submitted directly through a consulate or embassy, while others are handled through authorised visa application centres, online application systems or electronic visa platforms.
For this reason, it is important at the outset to identify the purpose of travel, the appropriate visa category, the required documents and the correct application method.
Applications to Asian and Far Eastern countries requiring a visa, electronic visa, entry permit or a long-stay authorisation linked to the purpose of travel are assessed in line with the current procedures of the relevant country.
Tourism, business, study, work and other travel-related applications to Middle Eastern countries are planned according to country-specific visa and entry rules.
For travel to African countries operating visa, electronic visa or visa-on-arrival systems, the application method and documentary requirements are assessed on a country-by-country basis.
Applications to Latin American countries requiring a visa or prior authorisation for Turkish citizens are assessed in light of the purpose of travel and current entry conditions.
For European countries outside the Schengen system that require a visa or a specific entry authorisation, country-specific rules are taken as the basis of the application.
Destinations outside the regions above that require a visa, electronic visa, travel authorisation or a similar application are also assessed in accordance with country-specific procedures.
Applications for holidays, sightseeing, cultural visits or other short-term tourist travel.
Applications to visit family members, relatives or friends living abroad.
Applications for meetings, trade fairs, conferences, business discussions or other short-term business activities.
Applications for language courses, short-term programmes, university, postgraduate study, doctoral programmes or other education categories defined by the relevant country.
Applications based on employment contracts, assignments, skilled employment or other work visa categories of the relevant country.
Volunteering, research, internships, family reunification, digital nomad, investment or other visa categories defined under the legislation of the relevant country.
Your purpose of travel, intended length of stay and personal circumstances are assessed together to identify the appropriate visa type.
The current visa rules, application method, documentary requirements, biometrics, appointment system or electronic application platform of the country of application are reviewed.
Your professional circumstances, financial profile, travel history, purpose of application and any invitation, admission or employment documents are considered when planning the application file.
Online application forms, appointments, document uploads, translations, apostilles, notarisation and other country-specific formalities are coordinated where required.
The file is reviewed for completeness before submission, and any subsequent requests for additional documents, biometrics, interviews or other procedures are followed up.
Application methods differ by country. Applications may be processed through a consulate, embassy, visa application centre, online portal or electronic visa system.
Different visa types may apply to tourism, business, study, work or other travel purposes. Applying under the wrong category may adversely affect the process.
The information provided in the application form should be consistent with the applicant’s financial, professional, personal and travel documents.
Many countries expect applicants to demonstrate sufficient financial means for the trip and professional or personal ties supporting their return after travel.
Some countries may require translations, notarisation, apostilles or consular legalisation for certain documents. These requirements vary by country.
The process may require biometric enrolment, attendance at an in-person appointment or a consular interview.
The scope of advisory support is assessed according to the visa system of the country of application, the applicant’s nationality and the purpose of travel. Before proceeding, the current procedures are reviewed to determine whether support can be provided.
Yes. Where the country of application operates an electronic visa or online authorisation system, eligibility requirements and the necessary information can be reviewed and support can be provided with the process.
The purpose of travel, intended length of stay, the applicant’s personal profile and the visa categories of the relevant country are assessed together to identify the appropriate application type.
No. Some applications are completed entirely online, while others require an appointment, biometric enrolment or in-person submission. The procedure varies by country and visa type.
Processing times vary according to the country, visa category, application volume and whether additional review is required. There is therefore no single processing time applicable to all countries.
No. The final decision rests solely with the competent consular, diplomatic or immigration authorities of the relevant country. Altun Vision provides advisory support to identify the appropriate visa category, prepare a consistent and complete application file and manage the process correctly; however, visa approval cannot be guaranteed.
