Step 1 – Prepare documents: The guarantor fills out information in form NA3 and requests confirmation from the Commune or Ward Police where the guarantor has permanent or temporary residence.

Step 2 – Submit application:

– The guarantor or the guarantor’s authorized recipient submits the application for an entry official letter online on the system of the Immigration Department.

– After that, the sponsor or authorized recipient directly submits the application at the Immigration Department according to the prepared application set mentioned above.

Step 3 – Receive results: After 5 working days from the date the application is valid and complete, the Immigration Department will return the results. In the entry dispatch, the Immigration Agency clearly states the time of entry and place to receive the foreigner’s visa.

Step 4: Send the results Notification to the foreigner: The sponsor notifies the foreigner who is his/her relative that he/she has completed the procedure for applying for an entry letter at the Immigration Department.
