Ordinary Visas - This visa is granted for reasons of family affairs, holidays, business contacts,
meetings, conferences and charity or religious events.
The ordinary visa must be used within 60 days of being granted and entitles the bearer to stay
for 30 days, which can be extended twice for further 30 day periods. An ordinary visa does not
entitle the bearer to establish residence in the country or to engage in any remunerated
activity.

Whilst Key Travel do everything possible to ensure that the visa is issued correctly we have no
control over the embassies decision on the type or length of visa issued. Embassies are within
