And, surprisingly the Hungarian embassy is much more PITA than others, here are the things they pestered me for-<br><br>* They need signature and seal on your payslips (HR etc) and bank statement (branch manager), EVEN if it says "this is a computer generated document and doesn't require a signature"<br>
* They will tell you that "hey this invitation isn't original, it looks like a printout!", you need to tell them "yes, it *is* a printout, thats what I have. If you need more authenticity, there's this digitally signed ddoc I can email to the embassy"<br>
* I get my insurance stuff done online, so they were saying the same "hey, cmon this aint original", and you gotta explain its a damn printout as it was online.<br><br>Otherwise, they will be fine (hopefully).<br>
<br>hope that helps :)<br><br>Cheers<div><br></div></blockquote></div><div><br>Thanks Shantanu for all the information. Anyway, does this mean that<br>I myself have to show up at the Embassy to make an application? And<br>
even if the application can be made through a travel agent, do the officials<br>at the embassy prefer the candidate to show up himself? I am from Kolkata;<br>so I would prefer to get all this done from the comfort of my room. :P<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Yes, you can ask your travel agent to do that for you. I'm told that you won't be required to be physically present in most of the cases.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
