Countries are now classified as red, yellow and green (based on the severity of the situation in each), with different rules for each category. Before submitting your application, we kindly ask you to check here the current classification of your country. Please kindly note that applications are only accepted from countries classified “green”. We kindly call your attention that the status of Canada and Portugal has recently changed.
