Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to visit your office?
No. Ordering, payment, and document submission are all done online; you only need to attend your biometrics appointment in person.
Do you guarantee the visa will be issued?
The final decision rests solely with the embassy. Our role is to prepare a complete file that strengthens your application.
