56: Visa holder must comply with conditions
or “You must follow all the rules that come with your visa”
You could also call this:

“How to apply for a visa and provide necessary information”

When you want to get a visa, you need to follow certain rules. These rules are different for each type of visa. You must apply for your visa in the way that’s been set out for the kind of visa you want.

When you apply for a visa, you need to give two important pieces of information. First, you need to provide your contact address. This is where people can reach you. Second, you need to give your address for service. This is where official papers about your visa can be sent to you.
