One practical option is to skip a 3-month visa at first, extend for 1 extra month, and then apply for a new visa afterward. Some travelers consider this a more convenient sequence.

The minimum timeframe mentioned is 3 working days, excluding the day you submit the application, but the form may be returned for corrections. If that happens, processing often restarts, which is why travelers with urgent or tricky cases are advised to use visa assistance services.
