Rules for every visa
- A visa is valid from the day it is approved, not from the day you first travel.
- You may travel between San Andreas and Coral Island as often as you wish while your visa is valid.
- Renewal of a visa costs the same as the visa being renewed and may be requested from seven days before expiry until fourteen days after.
- The Department reads your Los Santos warrants and criminal record. You must declare them. An undeclared record is grounds for refusal.
- Applicants can choose to join the Government's community channel, where decisions, interview slots and notices are posted. If you say yes in your application and your account allows it, you are added automatically for as long as your visa or residence lasts.
- Pay at the Coral Island Flights desk at Sandy Shores Airfield or the Immigration and City Office in Puerto Coral, or use the payment command /coralfees pay. Fees are taken from cash first, then from your bank account.
- Fees are not refunded when an application is refused or withdrawn after payment.
