It is not necessary if you have allowed sufficient time to obtain your visa, e.g. 2- 4 weeks, and for certain countries this may be longer. Otherwise it is advisable to call to check availability. Some destinations are popular, so it is advisable to contact us for availability.
We will either email or phone you to confirm that your documents have been received at our office. An immediate application will be made to lodge your passport at the embassy you have requested. Depending on the processing times,required by the Consulate Office, your passport and documents will then be collected and despatched to you using Royal Mail Special Delivery Service.
This depends on the recommended processing times stipulated by each Embassy. In most cases we require at least 2 weeks notice, and longer at peak travelling times e.g. Easter, Summer Holidays & Christmas. We normally advise our customers to send in applications at least 4 weeks before their expected travel date. Some European destinations are very popular, and due to limited allocated slots it is advisable to submit orders early to avoid disappointment. Please note that for some embassies require a longer processing for certain nationalities and you should allow for this.
You should check the visa requirements for the country you intend to travel to see if same day processing service is available. You can also contact us either by phone or email first to check if we will be able to arrange to lodge your passport before your travel date. Additional fees are required for same day processing.

Please supply a SAE to cover the cost for the return of your passport and documents. If you decide to cancel after your application has been lodged, then our full fees will still be due.
