Extension rules depend on the exact visa or entry permission and may require action before expiry. Do not rely on an extension until the relevant immigration authority confirms it.

Overstaying can lead to fines, detention, removal, future visa problems or an entry ban. Contact the relevant immigration authority before the permitted stay ends if travel is disrupted.

Do I need to show bank statements or proof of funds?

Some routes require financial evidence and border officers may ask how the trip will be funded. When required, Krosz checks that the statement is readable, recent and consistent with the traveller and itinerary.

What should I do if I make a mistake in my application?

Tell Krosz immediately. Some fields can be corrected before submission; after government submission, a correction, withdrawal or new application may be required and additional fees can apply.

Can I apply if my passport is close to expiry?

Use a valid Indian passport and follow the passport-validity requirement for the applicable route. Renew first if the passport will not meet the rule for the application, arrival, stay and any onward journey.

What if my Indian passport has no surname or only one name?

Enter the name exactly as the passport and official form require; do not invent a surname. Single-name handling differs by destination and airline, so Krosz should route the application for manual review before submission.

Can I apply after a previous visa rejection?

A previous refusal does not always prevent a new application, but it must be disclosed when asked. Correct the underlying issue, provide consistent evidence and never hide a refusal or submit altered documents.

What if my application remains in processing longer than expected?

Government processing can exceed estimates. Check the Krosz update, confirm that no correction request is pending and avoid submitting a duplicate application unless Krosz or the authority specifically advises it.
