The recent arrest of a travel agent and a businessman at IGI Airport for issuing fake visas highlights the growing threat of Visa document fraud. Two individuals attempting to travel to Poland were caught with forged visas, leading to their deportation from Dubai and the subsequent legal action.
Key points to remember:
- Official channels only: Always access the visa application process through the official website of the embassy or consulate of the country you want to visit.
- Verify information: Cross-check all details on your visa, including the issuing authority, passport number, dates, and personal information, with your application and passport.
- Beware of intermediaries: Be cautious of visa agents or consultants who promise guaranteed approvals or ask for excessive fees.
- Research thoroughly: Familiarize yourself with the visa requirements for your destination country, including the application process, necessary documents, and expected processing time.
- Check for updates: Stay informed about any changes to the visa application process or requirements.
