Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to travel on a passport that expires in less than 6 months ?
No. It is not worth taking the risk even if your passport expires in 5 months and 25 days for example. If the expiry date is within 6 months be sure to renew it before you travel to avoid any unpleasant experiences.
What happens to all my old visas in my older pasport once I get a new one ?
Well in short the U.S.A., U.K., Japan and Schengen visas continue to stay valid despite your old passport being cancelled and returned. You can continue to use these older visas provided you carry the older passport in its original form along with your newly issued Passport.
However, Your Canada visa, Singapore (Paper visa), Australia (Paper visa) as well as most other E-visas or paper visas will have to be applied for and paid for again with the new passport number this time.
I always take pride in doing my own visas. I have ben doing it for so many years now. However with so many changes in rules of various countries and my busy schedule it is almost impossible for me to get to this on my own. I want to use services of an agent, but how much will they charge, will they help me enough ?
We pride ourselves in complete transparency with our clients. Just shoot us a message, we will get back to you at the earliest with our rates, the require ddocuments and exactly how we can help you. Afte rthat you can make your decision at your own convenience, no pressure, no rush, no commitment.
What is the USA visa dropbox renewal rule ?
If your old USA visa is about to expire or has expired within the past twelve months you are eligible for a dropbox USA visa renewal. In this feature you as an applicant is not required to be physically present to renew their visa. You can send a representative or we could go on your behalf dopr off the passport and pick it up once it is ready with your new 10 year USA visa. The only catch is that this process can take long so it is best to plan this in advance as your passport can be with the authorities for almost 15-20 days continuously.
What if I require a fresh USA visa, or if my visa expired a while ago (more than 12 months ago) what should I do ?
In this case one needs to immediately fill up their DS-160 form, check it thoroughly, do the needful online and pay the requisite fees, and get on the portal to look out for an earlier date as the average wait time is a little bit over 365 days for a USA visa appointment which in our honest opinion is quite ridiculous ! However, having a U.SA. tourist visa stamped on your passport does make it a lot easier to travel to many countries that allow you entry on having a valid USA visa. Get in touch with us to understand what you need to do and how to hurry this process up.
USA VISA INTERVIEW ! What to say, what to wear, what to carry, what will they ask me, should I answer or let my family answer ? How long does it take, where exactly do I line up?
Be Calm. If you have us on board we will hand hold you literally through the entire process, we can even help with a mock interview should you require one to help you in easing your nerves for the day of.
I have an infant / toddler with me. I would love for our nanny to join us on our international trips. But how exactly should we go about this ? If we get a passport for our nanny how are we supposed to get the visas to various countries ?
We have a long standing experience in all these areas of travel. Trust us to guide you an help you through the entrie process.
What are the changes in the UAE visa rules now? There are too many rumors ongoing ?
What has changed in the UAE single entry visitor visa is that now along with good quality scans of your passport, pan card and passport size photos you are now required to submit your flight and hotel bookings as well. The UAE visitor visa fee has also been revised a bit.
However the older rule for an Indian Passport holder with a valid USA Visa (note valid for 6 months or more only) will be allowed a visa on arrival for 14 days for a minimal fee as per the old rule. So valid USA visa holders can breathe easy.
I want a U.K. visa but they keep our passports with them for too long, what should I do ?
The U.K. High Commission in India has various schemes to make life easy for an Indian Passport holder seeking a U.K. visa. Firstly, at a premium price, they offer a facility known as KEEP MY PASSPORT. Under this facility you have applied for your U.K. visa, however you get to keep your passport with you at all times while the U.K. High Commission is processing your visa application. Upon the decision being made all you have to do is send in the passport back to the vfs office and they return it back to you within 24 hours with your visa duly stamped inside. They also offer a host of priority services but bear in mind these come at a high premium, and for the high rollers who need their visa in less than 24 hours, well there is a super-priority visa.
U.K. High Commission is the only organization that allows you to purchase the duration of the visa you like. You could purchase a 6 month, 2 year, 5 year or whopping 10 year visa, however again bear in mind, the rates of each visa do go up substantially however to certain travellers the higher duration visas do make much more sense to purchase.
I want to go to the VFS office and get my visas for various countries but I am too claustrophobic / busy / prefer privacy / do not like large crowds, what should I do?
The VFS is a global organization and a third party partner with most countries to handle their administrative work for visas. They offer a host of services at their various locations such as a Premium Lounge, Prime TIme hour submissions, and now in many cases, door step service where they come with their entire kit tight at your home and complete your visa application process. All of these ocme at a price, however in some cases these services are well worth it. Get in touch with us to guide you better.
Which country visas are online ?
Australia, Turkey (E-visa only for Indian citizens holding a valid USA, UK, Canada, Europe Visa), Armenia, Vietnam, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Qatar. Important to note just because it is an e-visa does not mean it is processed immediately. Some of these could take from 24 hours upto 15 days or more. So it is best to plan in advance no matter which country the plan is for.
Which countries can I go to without a visa being an Indian national ?
Lucky for Indian Passport holders, currently we are enjoying a visa free entry at Thailand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Maldives, Mauritius to name a few.
What is this service all the celebrities and high Net worth individuals enjoy at the airport ?
This is the PRANAAM service offered by the Adani Group airport services. It needs to be purchased at least 48 hours prior to your travel. It is surely expensive, but could prove beneficial for many.
