In order to question and get to know travelers who intend to visit their country, a consular interview a interview is conducted with those who wish to obtain a visa. During this interview, the consulate in question asks the interviewee a series of questions, the answers to which are evaluated to determine the interviewee’s potential as a migrant and whether his or her behavior may pose a problem in the country of destination.
Preparation before the consular interview is essential to increase your chances of obtaining the visa you need.

Recommendations before a Consular Interview
You should first make sure that you have all the necessary documents, which vary depending on the country you are going to. In general, you will need: passport, photos, application form, proof of income, etc.
Once you have all the documents, check them carefully and make sure you have the originals and all copies (translated if necessary) required by the consulate.
It is also a good idea to find out what questions are commonly asked in interviews for the type of visa you are applying for. Check the consulate’s website or Internet forums. Knowing the questions will help you prepare your answers in the clearest and most concise way possible.
Note: A consular interview is a formal meeting, so dress appropriately and discreetly to show respect for the embassy/consulate staff and the country you are visiting.
Recommendations that should be taken into account during the interview process
- Plan your trip to the consulate in advance. Make sure you arrive at the appointed time.
- Remain calm while questioned, take deep breaths and try to remain calm while questioned.
- Be honest and clear, do not omit necessary details or change information, because if a lie is discovered, your interview may be canceled and your visa may be denied.
Recommendations to make after the interview
After the interview, the consular officer will inform you of your visa decision at the time of the interview or tell you how and when the answer will be disclosed to you. As long as you keep the documents presented at the interview in case they are needed again, do the same with any information you have been given about your case.
The interview is only part of the visa process, so if you are denied, it is not the only factor in your denial. If you do not get a visa, use the experience to improve your projection or your documents, and request a new appointment if possible.
