To visit foreign countries, in most cases you will need a visa - a document that allows you to enter the country for a certain time. There are several types of visas: diplomatic, tourist, work, guest. A visitor visa is issued if you are going to see friends or relatives who live abroad.
Instructions
Step 1
Visitor visa application has some peculiarities. First, ask the host, that is, your friends or relatives who are abroad, to draw up and send you a special invitation. In Europe, such an invitation is made by the police at the place of residence, and you are only given the invitation number. The original of this document itself is forwarded to the embassy in Russia and, having given the number to the employee of the embassy, you will receive your invitation. It is done in order to guarantee that you have a place for housing abroad, financial and legal support from the host side.
Step 2
In addition, ask to send you copies of documents confirming the identity of the host (passport), the availability of housing (documents for the purchase of an apartment, etc.), as well as an invitation written in a relatively free form with the signature of the host. Print all this and take it to the embassy along with the rest of the documents.
Step 3
A visitor visa to Germany with an invitation does not require confirmation of your financial condition, that is, a bank account statement. Therefore, do not worry that you will be denied: if you have not had any violations before, then refusal of a visitor visa is almost impossible. Naturally, provide a local and foreign passport with all copies, a certificate from the place of work or study, a completed embassy questionnaire and photographs.
Step 4
But a visitor visa to the United States requires a lot of effort. When applying for such a visa, you will have to go through an interview with a consular officer who will try in every possible way to extract any information from you that prevents the issuance of a visa. Make it your goal to convince him that you have no intention of staying in the United States. To do this, additionally provide information on the state of your bank account, the availability of housing, work, study, possibly your own business. Difficulties often arise for unmarried girls who can find themselves a fiancé in the United States and stay there, so the embassy employees treat them with extreme caution.
