Do i need a bank statement, sponsor letter, Visa ect?

Deacon, you need an L type entry permit for the travel. Documents required for you to submit are as follows: a passport valid for at least six months and having two or more blank pages, a copy of the passport’s info page, a completed application form with a passport-type photo stuck on it, and an invitation letter from your friend. If the consular official does not request, the bank statement is not needed.
