Judging by your list of documents to have you may want to specify the type of Visa, since other types likely don't require the same ones (marriage and house documents)

One word, IMPOSSIBLE !!!

Yes my friend just did his in 3 days in Singapore. Preperation is the key
Andy ********
@John *********
why is it impossible. Surely with all the correct documentation in place it is an easy process. John **********
@Andy *******
, how is it negative, I'm stating facts. It will take 6 days to get the 2 insurance certificates for a start. I'm going through all the processes for an O-A myself now. NEGATIVE? I don't think you are going to pass your medical. Andy ********
@John *********
as I said before, read the post. He had all his documentation in place and saved on his computer.Please explain the medical you think I need.
