I pogged. Never thought that'd happen. The last time I had to do the visa process, it took months to be approved and we had to have a sponsor filling out documents with us. Need to start planning.

what kind of visa was it? i was able to get an L visa for 3-month stays and 10 year validity in about a week

though tbf i'm in the US and used swift and it was kinda expensive, but the consulate website is showing really fast processing times too

This was many years ago and it was technically a tourist visa. I wouldn't be surprised if they made things a lot more efficient. We had to mail in a lot of documents which is the part that took a while.
