Combine passport, bank statements, photos, and supporting documents into one PDF for visa applications. Free online merger, no signup. Accepted by all embassies.
Most embassies and visa portals require supporting documents submitted as a single PDF. Bank statements, flight bookings, hotel confirmations, employment letters, and passport copies — all in one file, in the right order. Here's how to do it correctly. ## How to Merge PDFs for Visa Applications 1. Go to [pdfhub24.com/merge-pdf](/merge-pdf) 2. Upload all your documents — you can add them all at once 3. Drag to arrange them in the required order (see below) 4. Click **Merge PDF** 5. Download your combined document 6. Check the total file size and compress if the portal has an upload limit ## Standard Document Order for Visa Applications Different embassies specify different orders, but this structure works for most Schengen, UK, and US visa applications: 1. Completed application form 2. Passport photo page (and previous visa pages if relevant) 3. Travel itinerary (flights) 4. Hotel bookings 5. Travel insurance 6. Bank statements (3–6 months) 7. Pay slips (3 months) 8. Employment letter / business registration 9. Additional supporting documents Always check the specific embassy's checklist before finalising your order. ## Handling Password-Protected Bank Statements Banks often send statements as password-protected PDFs. You need to unlock them before merging. Use [pdfhub24.com/unlock-pdf](/unlock-pdf) — enter the password (usually your date of birth or account number in the format the bank specifies), then add the unlocked version to your merge. ## File Size for Visa Portal Uploads Many embassy portals cap uploads at 5MB or 10MB. After merging, check your file size. If it's over the limit, compress the merged document using [pdfhub24.com/compress-pdf](/compress-pdf). Standard compression preserves all document quality while typically cutting size by 50–70%. ## Common Mistakes to Avoid **Wrong page order** — Some embassies reject applications where documents are in the wrong sequence. Double-check the exact order required on the embassy website before merging. **Missing pages** — Scroll through the merged PDF after downloading to confirm every document is present and every page is readable. **Expired documents included** — Make sure your travel insurance, bookings, and bank statements all show current dates.
