What is the difference between required and optional documents for a visa?

Required documents (marked REQUIRED in our checklist) are those explicitly mandated by the immigration authority for your visa. Optional documents can strengthen your application — for example, evidence of ties to your home country for a GTE statement. Missing a required document will typically result in your visa being delayed or refused.
