Procedures For Leaders of Overseas Pallottine Groups

(Re: Passports, Visas, etc.)

Nominate a responsible person to be be in charge of getting the visa on behalf of the group
Contact the Embassy to get the applicable information regarding the visa cost, and how long it will take to process the visas
Advise the group accordingly that everyone has to have their passport by a set date
They will then advise that the group has to have their visa application forms completed CORRECTLY by a set date and given to the person along with the correct monies to apply for the visas on a bulk application

MUST

SAFE

Keep a record of the passports that go to the Embassy and the dates sent, and they record the passports as they get them back from the Consulates
When they give the passports back to the individual owner they must get them signed out

It would be a good idea that a photocopy of the passports and visa be held by the organiser - for safety in case any passports are lost while they are travelling to WYD

If you need any further assistance please let me know. This is only a set of guidelines that I have used when working with groups and I have found it works well. This is by no means a written rule - it is only to give you some help with visas.
