1Before the trip, Anna must apply for a tourist visa.
2She reads the requirements on the embassy's official website.
3The application form asks about her job and travel plans.
4She fills it in online and prints the confirmation page.
5She needs two recent photos with a white background.
6The bank statement must show enough money for the trip.
7Anna books an appointment at the visa centre online.
8On the appointment day, she arrives fifteen minutes early.
9A staff member checks her documents one by one.
10Her hotel booking is missing, so she prints it nearby.
11Then she gives her fingerprints at a small machine.
12The officer asks about the purpose of her visit.
13Anna answers calmly that she is going on holiday.
14She pays the fee and receives a tracking number.
15The website says the process takes about two weeks.
16Every day, she checks the status of her application.
17After ten days, a message says her passport is ready.
18She collects it and finds the visa sticker inside.
19The dates on the visa are correct, luckily.
20Now Anna can finally book her flights with confidence.
