Cancellation Rights:

Submission of your application by phone or online; it is presumed that by doing so you agree to begin the application process with us. By agreeing to these terms and conditions you are confirming your express consent for us to continue with your application with immediate effect. Refunds will not be given once work has commenced under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 as stated under Regulation 36(1)(a) and 37(1)(a), you waive your right to cancel if you agree that we can start providing the services within the cancellation period.

Please note that if we have commenced processing your application after you have read and agreed these terms and conditions and you then instruct your card provider to ‘clawback’ (return) your payment, we will pass the matter onto our legal team who will commence recovery action with immediate effect. This process can be costly as we will seek to recover our legal fees and court costs as well as the fee you have agreed to pay for our services.

Refund Policy:

We will be unable to issue a refund in the event that the government of your destination country chooses to rescind the approval of your travel authorization or there are no appointments available at the time of your submission. We strongly recommend and suggest that you confirm your travel authorisation status prior to reserving a flight or checking in to a flight to your destination country.

If your travel arrangements are disrupted for any reason (including travel restrictions due to the current global issue) Visa-Applications.org will hold your application until you are ready to resume your travel plans. As a solicitor is assigned to your case immediately after your application is submitted, no refunds can be offered after this point due to the solicitors minimum hourly charge.

Cancellations once an application has been reviewed are subject to a minimum 25% processing fee. Once your submission has been reviewed you have received your documentation, no refunds can be given beyond this point. When refunding service fees, we include any monies that are paid directly to us for processing your application however this unfortunately does not include any fees charged to you by a third party such as card processing fees incurred during the processing of your payment.

We always process refunds in the original currency. Any exchange rate will be calculated and determined by your debit/credit card company and therefore we shall not and cannot take any responsibility for any fluctuation in refund amounts based on the changes in the exchange rate or fees charged by your card provider. Any refunds processed shall be credited to the original card used for purchase. The reason for this is to prevent theft, loss, fraud and for your security.

Refunds can take up to 30 days to process. Once your bank accepts your refund you should see the refund within 7-10 working days on your statement. Should you not see the reason for your refund request listed here or have any further question in regards to refunds please contact us.

We are a private company and as such not affiliated with any government entities and therefore we would like to stress that any decisions relating to the admission of a country are solely at the discretion of the relevant customs and border protection office. If for any reason your application is rejected you will have the opportunity to appeal the decision.
