2023 informing us the passports were ready for pickup you can choose to pick up or deliver I chose to pick it up that’s a total of 16 business days not including the date of application for my Visa and this is only for me I had to
Sign a paper at the center and was given a letter that I should bring to the Italian Embassy once I came back from the trip hopefully this good gesture will make the application smoother next time I’ll show you and I’ll attach a copy of the letter I dropped by the embassy to
Submit the letter a few days after my arrival it was just a quick process I gave the letter to the staff over the counter and they said everything was okay and gave me back the letter they didn’t write anything in the letter or whatnot just a reminder please process
Your applications at least 3 months before your travel date to avoid emotional and mental stress we got our us on July 11 our travel date was on July 20 so we were on a time crunch and very stressed with waiting spare yourself of that if you want to add more
Documents to your application go ahead and do so as long as it will prove your Ruess that you have a reason to come back from your trip once you get your visa approved all these efforts will be worth it I hope you learned a few things enjoy your trip bye N I
