Frequently asked questions
Why are your prices fixed when others run sales?
Visa help is a high-stakes purchase. Fixed, published prices let you compare honestly and plan. We do not run flash sales or change prices week to week.
Are government fees included?
No. Government visa fees and visa centre charges go to the authorities and their providers. We show them separately and charge them at cost.
What exactly is refunded under Refusal Recovery?
If your Refusal Recovery application is refused again, we refund 100% of our service fee. Government and visa centre fees are non-refundable by the authorities, so nobody can refund those.
