Going on a trip abroad, we have to face many questions regarding the paperwork for entering a particular country. This is the issuance of a foreign passport, and visa processing, and the collection of the necessary documents to obtain all of the above. Perhaps everyone knows that to enter most countries, you need to obtain a special permit - a visa. But few of us know that there are also cases when a visa needs to be canceled. The reasons and procedures for visa cancellation can be as follows.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have a Schengen visa to a certain country, and you are going to visit another country, to enter which you also need a Schengen visa. In this case, you first need to cancel the existing visa, because valid Schengen visas must not overlap. The procedure for self-canceling a visa is simple: you need to submit an application to the consulate of the country that issued the visa, indicating the reasons for the cancellation. As a rule, such applications are accepted out of turn. It is better to check an additional list of documents, as well as the form for writing an application, at the consulate of a particular country. After the cancellation of the visa at the request of the applicant, as a rule, there are no problems with obtaining a new visa to this country.
Step 2
The visa must be canceled if errors and inaccuracies were made during its registration by the consulate of the country that issues the visa. Due to the fact that any visa is a serious international document that gives the right to enter the territory of another state, corrections in visas are not allowed. A visa that contains corrections is invalid. Therefore, if there are errors on the part of the consulate, a new visa is pasted into the passport. This procedure takes place without additional paperwork on the part of the recipient.
Step 3
A visa can also be canceled due to a violation of the visa regime. This process is carried out by employees of the competent authorities at the time of entry or exit from the country without the participation of the visa recipient. In such cases, either an appropriate stamp is put, or the visa is crossed out. The process of canceling a visa is in any case quite simple and does not require the collection of a large number of documents. But this does not make it less important, because staying in a country with an incorrectly issued visa or with a duplicate visa will not do without troubles. Therefore, in order to get only pleasure from trips, carefully follow the paperwork.
