Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Allocated personal appointment and filing window | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Use the competent BiH mission in India and the personal appointment already allocated for this scope. Regulation 48/2024 Article 7 requires filing no earlier than three months and no later than one month before travel. Electronic filing is only where actually applicable; a generic online portal claim does not establish an India channel. The officer normally interviews the applicant and may request biometrics. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Actual four-page Form1 and applicant signature | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Complete the currently linked four-page visa application. Field 22 has Long stay; accurately state employment purpose in 28 and include employer/contact/address 34, costs 35–36 and travel dates 30–31. Read declaration 45, add home address 46/phone 47, place/date 48 and applicant signature 49 on page 4. Field 50 and the right-hand decision boxes are for officials. Follow the personal appointment instructions for printing and handwriting; no printed calendar revision is asserted. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Passport validity, age and blank pages | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Current D Regulation Article 11 requires an intact recognised passport issued within the previous ten years, with at least two blank pages and validity at least three months after the planned departure from BiH, or the final planned departure for multiple visits. Do not shorten that to three months after the application date. This is the ordinary branch; justified urgent exceptions are outside this scope. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: One current35×45mm colour photograph | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Article 12 requires one 35×45 mm colour photo accurately depicting the applicant, scanned or captured at application time. Use a clear frontal neutral face, visible eyes and a plain light background; head around two-thirds of the image and no more than 36 mm high. Religious/medical head covering is conditional with face edges visible. Follow actual intake capture instructions rather than assuming an older fixed photo-age rule. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Issued work permit as the specific employment basis | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Submit the genuine work permit for this job, employer and requested employment period. Article 13 requires the invitation plus another document showing why the stay exceeds 90 days, expressly including a work permit. A job offer or recruitment promise is not the issued work permit assumed here. A separate employer permit application and its regional labour-market process are outside this visa checklist. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: SFA-certified company invitation recorded inCBPS | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Use the invitation on the prescribed form, already certified by SFA and recorded in the Central Database on Aliens. Article 18 permits a photocopy in that recorded/certified case, and gives the invitation 180 days validity from certification. This does not make an unsigned employer email sufficient. Preserve the certification/date/reference and keep the original available if the deciding mission requests it; do not automatically apply the superseded original-only rule. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Accommodation or the accepted alternative | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Article 14 accepts the invitation, paid accommodation evidence, ownership/rental evidence or another adequate housing document. In justified cases an applicant can instead establish sufficient funds for accommodation and subsistence. State the real address and arrangement; an invitation covering housing can establish it without an automatically mandatory hotel booking or duplicate lease. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Work permit meets the D subsistence condition | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Article 15(2) treats a holder of a BiH work permit as meeting the means-of-subsistence condition. Do not add a universal daily cash balance or three-month bank-statement bundle to this issued-permit branch solely from general tourist instructions. The officer may request additional evidence under Article 10, and accommodation, travel and insurance remain separate requirements. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: D travel-health insurance still required | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Article 17 separately requires proof of paid travel-health insurance valid in BiH throughout the planned stay, with claims payable in BiH. A host may buy a compliant BiH policy for the applicant. The work-permit subsistence rule does not remove this D insurance requirement. A later residence-stage rule treating the work permit as meeting health-insurance conditions must not be applied to this visa packet. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Travel means and conditional medical evidence | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Article 16 covers return travel evidence, or vehicle registration/driving authority where actually travelling by car; follow the allocated mission instructions for acceptable reservation/ticket evidence. Article 9 makes the visa medical certificate conditional on coming from an area with an infectious-disease epidemic. Do not substitute the later residence-stage routine medical/PCC requirements for this D branch; respond truthfully to any individual additional request. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Document ages, translation and individual certification | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Article 19 normally limits supporting documents to three months old, excluding the passport and invitation. The officer may accept older material only under its stated authenticity/proper-certification exception, never beyond six months under that exception; this is not an applicant entitlement. Foreign-language/script documents need proper authorised court-interpreter translation and certification into a BiH official language or English. Confirm item-specific original/copy/authentication requests; no blanket apostille of private forms, passport or every attachment is established. |
| India to Bosnia and Herzegovina employment D visa — issued work permit and certified invitation: Mission payment instruction and decision timing | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Pay the prescribed consular fee using the individual mission instruction and retain proof. This guide does not verify a current Delhi euro/INR amount, bank account or online checkout. Article 23 normally sets a 30-day decision period excluding time allowed for additional documents; Article 21 gives 15 days for a requested supplement. These are procedural limits, not a guaranteed approval date or permission to book irrevocable travel. |
