I Applied for a Multiple-Entry Visa but Received a Single-Entry — Can It Be Changed?
Learn why you may receive a single-entry visa instead of multiple-entry and whether it can be changed after issuance.
📍 Why Did I Receive a Single-Entry Visa?
When applying for a visa, you may request multiple entry or longer validity. However, the final decision is made by the consulate.
Visa validity, number of entries, and duration of stay are determined solely by the issuing authority.
🧾 Can Swift Change the Visa After It’s Issued?
No.
Once a visa has been issued:
-
The terms cannot be modified
-
There is no appeal process for entry validity
-
The visa cannot be converted to multiple entry
Although Swift may be able to submit a request for multiple entry during the application process, the outcome is entirely subject to consulate approval.
⚠️ Important Notes
-
Visa issuance is discretionary
-
Approval of multiple entry is not guaranteed
-
Consulate policies may vary by nationality
Swift cannot influence or override consulate decisions.
