As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. I realised from their guidance that I needed an updated insurance policy with the right coverage. Took me roughly an hour and a half including gathering documents. Everything is laid out so even my mum could follow it, and she's 68. The consulate clerk even commented that my file was well prepared. Honestly one of the least stressful bureaucratic experiences I've had.
