These are the categories and codes the destination authority itself uses. Match the category to what you will actually do there — filing under the wrong category is the most common avoidable refusal.
| Code | Category | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| e-Visa (tourist) | Tourist e-Visa | Tourism and family visits, filed online with approval issued by email before travel. |
| e-Visa (business) | Business e-Visa | Short business meetings where the online system supports that purpose. |
| Embassy visa (long stay) | Embassy long-stay visa | Study, work or family reunification, filed at the embassy or application centre. |
| Student | Student visa or permit | Courses at recognised institutions, with evidence of funds. |
| Work | Work visa or permit | The destination employer files or sponsors. |
| Family / spouse | Family or spouse visa | Spouses and children of nationals or residents; certified translations of marriage/birth records are usually required. |
Authorities revise category names and codes. Confirm the current list on the destination's official website before filing. NYC is a private service provider, not a government body, and cannot guarantee any decision.
The online system is usually quick, but file at least two to three weeks ahead in case more documents are requested.
Entry rules change. Before buying tickets or booking accommodation, reconfirm with the destination authority's official website.

No. Albania runs its own visa system. A Schengen visa may grant entry under certain conditions, but check the current announcement before travelling.
Thai civil documents (house registration, birth and marriage certificates) are translated into English and legalised by the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs. Some destinations then require their own embassy stamp. From 28 February 2027 Thailand joins the Apostille Convention, after which an apostilled document is accepted by member states without the extra embassy step. Until then the current legalisation route applies.
No. VFS Global, TLScontact and BLS receive applications, enrol biometrics and forward the file to the destination's embassy or immigration authority. The decision belongs solely to that government. No service provider can fast-track or guarantee an outcome.
We check eligibility, build the file to the destination's standard, translate and certify documents, complete forms, book appointments, run interview preparation and track the case to decision. We do not create false documents, overstate income, sell shortcuts, or guarantee outcomes — the decision rests with the destination's officers.
Yes — all 77 provinces. Documents move by tracked courier and the file is built remotely. You travel only for biometrics or an interview, and for destinations that accept fully online filing sometimes not at all.
Send us the basics and we will tell you plainly where the file is weak, what to add, and when to submit. If the case is not ready, we say so before you spend the fee.
NYC Visa & Translation is a private service provider — not a government body and not an agent of any embassy or application centre. Visa decisions rest solely with the destination's authorities. We do not guarantee outcomes and offer no shortcuts. This page is general information; rules change, so verify with the destination's official sources before deciding.
One document set often moves through several stages — translation, notarial certification, legalization and finally a visa filing. The links below follow that real sequence.
Authority requirements change. Verify with the receiving authority before filing, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
