Know your own application
Nothing undermines you faster than being unsure about your own travel dates, accommodation, or finances. Re-read your application the night before so every answer comes naturally.
Answer the question that was asked
- Keep answers short and direct — do not over-explain.
- Never volunteer information you were not asked for.
- If you do not understand, politely ask for the question to be repeated.
Be natural
Officers are trained to notice rehearsed speeches. Honest, concise answers are far more convincing than memorised paragraphs.
Stay consistent and calm
Your spoken answers must match your documents. Contradictions, even small ones, create doubt. Take a breath before answering, and never guess — if you do not know a detail, say so plainly.
Practical details for the day
- Arrive early and bring your full document set, organised.
- Dress neatly and be polite to everyone, including security staff.
- Switch off your phone before you reach the counter.
