*Please ensure that all required documents are thoroughly prepared before submission. There is no need to rush the process, as the embassy does not strictly count processing days. Instead, they aim to issue a decision as quickly as possible once a complete and well-organized application is received. Including any additional documents that may support your case can also help facilitate a faster approval.*
