Hello TerpeThis means It's very important to provide an accurate travel date as part of the visa application. The individual 30 day travel window given will be based on the information declared in the application form. Failure to travel within the requested 30 day period will mean applying for a new sticker.
How can one give an exact date on the visa application form if they don't already know the date when they will or if get the visa or not? According to information it can take up to 13 weeks for the results to come through?
This all seems to me to be a big money making racket for the Embassy, it is just totally unfair
