- Do not mail anything to Avisa Services without the generated application form.

2. Original Passport: The passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the intended date of departure from the destination country and should have at least 2 blank visa pages.

3. Passport-type Photograph: Include a passport-style photo with a white background, taken within the last 6 months. You may also choose to upload a photo for us to print, but this service incurs an additional charge. Please note that the applicant must not wear glasses in the photograph.

Driver's License: Submit a copy of your driver's license or state-issued ID, or provide the original major utility bill (Water, Gas, Electric, Sewage) for the most recent month, showing your name and current address.
