What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

The applicant presents a passport valid for at least six months plus a copy of its first (photo) page; other documents may be requested depending on the case. The official source does not state funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance or onward-travel evidence.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

Where a visa is required, the applicant downloads and completes the visa form, contacts the consulate before travelling to it, and presents the listed documents at the consulate; the visa is issued at the consulate and processing times may vary. The official source does not state when a stay can be extended or changed.
