The fee, passport-validity, stay and service-duration claims on this page were checked against the ICP visa service page linked in Source; the sponsorship mechanism, the Green Visa route and the document-table rows are not covered by that source. Where an official source contradicted the page, the page was corrected; where no official source supported a figure, the figure was removed. Checked 2026-09-16.
