          What is a Visit Visa?

          A Visit Visa allows you to travel abroad temporarily for tourism, family visits, business meetings, exhibitions, or medical treatment. It is strictly for short-term purposes and does not permit employment or permanent residence.

            How long is a Visit Visa valid?

            • Single-Entry Visa: Valid for one visit only (usually 15–90 days).
            • Multiple-Entry Visa: Allows you to travel multiple times, valid for 6 months, 1 year, or even up to 10 years (depending on the country).

            What documents are required?

            Every country has different requirements, but generally you will need:

            • Valid passport
            • Passport-size photograph
            • Completed visa application form
            • Bank statement (3–6 months)
            • Proof of employment/business
            • Flight & hotel bookings
            • Travel insurance (mandatory in Schengen & many countries)
            • Invitation letter (if visiting family or for business)

            Our consultants provide a personalized checklist so you never miss an important document.

            How much bank balance is required?

            There is no fixed amount, but you must show enough funds to cover travel, accommodation, and daily expenses. On average:

            • Schengen countries: €50–100 per day
            • UK: Around £100 per day
            • USA/Canada: Proof of consistent income & financial stability

            Can I work on a Visit Visa?

            No. A Visit Visa is only for temporary visits. Working or conducting paid activities is strictly prohibited.

              How long does the process take?

              • Schengen & UK: 2–6 weeks
              • USA & Canada: 3–8 weeks
              • Asian & Middle Eastern countries: 1–3 weeks

              We recommend applying well in advance of your travel date.

              Can a Visit Visa be extended?

              Some countries allow extensions while others do not. Extensions are usually approved only in special cases such as medical needs or flight disruptions.

                Is travel insurance necessary?

                Yes. Travel insurance covers medical emergencies, hospitalization, accidents, and repatriation. For Schengen countries, it must cover at least €30,000.

                  Why do visas get refused?

                  Common reasons include:

                  • Missing or incomplete documents
                  • Insufficient funds
                  • Weak ties to home country (job, family, property)
                  • Poor travel history
                  • Previous visa refusals or overstays

                  We carefully review your profile to minimize refusal chances.

                  Can I reapply if my visa is refused?

                  Yes, you can reapply after addressing the refusal reasons and strengthening your application. Our team provides expert guidance on refusal cases.

                    Do children need a separate visa?

                    Yes, even infants require their own visa. Parents must also provide consent letters and additional supporting documents.

                      Can I visit multiple countries on one visa?

                      • Schengen Visa: Allows travel to 29 European countries.
                      • Other visas (UK, USA, Canada, etc.): Each requires a separate visa unless exemptions apply.
