Done-for-you
How our visa desk works
Free assessment
Tell us where you're going — we confirm the exact visa type, cost and realistic timeline for your case.
Checklist & paperwork
A personalised document checklist, completed forms, cover letters and bookings prepared the way embassies expect.
Appointments & lodging
We book VFS / embassy appointments, guide biometrics and lodge online applications on the official portals.
Tracked to decision
We follow your file to the decision and line up flights, insurance and the trip itself the moment it's approved.
Paperwork
Application forms & downloads
Embassy-route destinations still use paper forms. Download them here — always the official versions — or let us fill them for you.
e-Visa destinations (India, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Qatar…) have no paper form — apply on the official portals linked inside each guide.
Visa inquiries
Tell us your destination — we'll map the rest.
One short form and our visa desk replies with the exact checklist, total costs and a realistic timeline for your travel dates. No charge until you ask us to process it.
Or visit any branch — Kandy, Kurunegala & Nuwara Eliya — with your passport.
Visa questions, answered
Do you guarantee the visa?
No honest agency can — the decision always rests with the embassy. What we guarantee is a correct, complete, well-presented application, which is what moves approval rates.
How early should I apply?
e-Visas: 1–2 weeks before travel. Embassy visas (Japan, Korea, Schengen, China): 4–8 weeks. UK, USA, Canada and Australia: start 2–4 months ahead, especially in peak season.
What does your assistance cost?
The assessment and checklist are free. If you ask us to process the application, we quote a flat service fee upfront — government/embassy fees are always billed at cost.
Can you help after a refusal?
Yes. Bring the refusal letter — we analyse the grounds, fix the gaps (funds, ties, itinerary) and prepare a stronger re-application when the timing is right.
Please note: visa rules, fees and processing times change without notice and the final decision always rests with the issuing embassy or authority. Details on these pages were verified on 26 July 2026 against official sources — always confirm on the linked official portal (or with our visa desk) before paying any fee or booking non-refundable travel.
