We recommend that you prepare
yourself to a lengthened processing time. In first applications the processing
time is now one month. In follow-up applications the processing time is under 4
weeks. Unfortunately, it is impossible to give an accurate estimate of the  payment, since the number of applications
entering the fund on a daily basis varies daily. This will inevitably affect
the processing time.

Now it is good time to check the attachements
of your application. Most common attachments to the application you can see
here:

We apologise for the delays. We
are working to rectify the situation as soon as possible.
