The Ministry of Interior offices (the authority processing all visas and permits to stay) are usually located a bit further from city centres due to their size and need for large storage for all the files and applications. As I often get texts from people about not being able to find the office, I decided to put together this photo manual to make the way a bit easier for anyone who may be visiting the offices for the first time.
Remember, the Ministry is giving out appointment numbers only 30 mins prior the appointment and 15 minutes after. Plan your trip accordingly so you don't miss your slot.
Which office are you visiting?
