Processing Times

In general, the processing periods for visa requests are as follows:

  • To obtain 1 to 3 visas, allow 5 to 10 working days prior to departure after your passport is made available to ITS.
  • If you require more than 3 visas, add 2 working days for each additional visa.
  • Countries such as China, Russia and Vietnam require from 7 to 20 working days to issue a visa, depending upon the purpose of the trip. This is in addition to the time required by ITS.
