Does Principal applicant have to reside in country?

[dream99]

Hi,

Does the principal applicant have to reside in their own country until they get there visa? Because they get the passport request, send their passport, and have to wait for it to come back. And do they send the passport back with the visa?

Thanks

they can reside in any country they are legally allowed to keep in mind this may mean you need to send updated police check for countries they reside in over 6 mths
