Please note that a copy of the insurance card or a copy of the insurance policy is not valid proof of insurance.
You can submit the necessary documents by mail or directly to our office located in the city center of Lahti on Hämeenkatu 15, on the 4th floor.
Please note that once you have left us your visa application, the contract is binding and the application can no longer be canceled.
The visa forms have been renewed starting 06.10.2010. There must be no corrections in the visa application. Markings in bold will be considered corrections. An incorrectly completed application will cause extra cost on the client for instance in the form of express fees.
The whole application must be completed with a ball point pen from start to finish. Ink and marker pens should not be used. A form completed by computer can be amended, if the corrections are made with a black pen.
