Hello everyone! 

I have a question: if I haven’t arranged accommodation yet, do I need to book somewhere for the entire 150 days, or would it be enough to book for just one or two months? I would like to look at apartments once I arrive. However, the visa application requires me to provide accommodation details for the entire stay. I also noticed that it is mandatory to specify when I will leave the country. Does it matter what date I enter there? 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Answer summary

The user is seeking clarification on accommodation requirements for a visa application, specifically whether it's necessary to book accommodation for the entire duration of their stay (150 days) or if a shorter booking will suffice, as they plan to look for apartments upon arrival. They also inquire about the relevance of entry dates in their visa application.

Thanks, And in the section above, where it asks how many days you’re going for, what dates did you enter as the start and end dates—when you arrive and when you leave the country?
