Notes ~ ~Visa World are possibly the greatest passport and visa processing agents in the whole wide world. Honest, they are!

(1)		After deducting our unique set discounts for additional travellers of up to 75% off. We are the only service that saves you money by reducing charges for additional travellers.
(2)		This is to allow for the additional administration involved due to the pre-arranging, pre-notification, pre-preparation and/or special presentation that is required by certain embassies. As we are able to pass on the benefit of savings made when processing additional applications at the same time, the supplement reduces in order to provide the same discounts (25%, 50%, 75% off, etc.) that we normally give to each additional traveller.
(3)		Applicable when each application, or a processing part of each application, incurs the same additional costs. e.g. Many embassies now require individual pre-registration of each application via online data entry. The variance of charges reflects the degree of user-friendly technology each embassy is using for data entry.
(4)		This is a one-off charge to allow for the waiting time that will inevitably be incurred due to the excessive queues that prevail at certain embassies. Unlike most of our competitors we do not require each traveller to pay more. We charge only the one supplement per embassy, irrespective of the total number of applications that are being made and submitted at the same time. We do not charge more for every application, each traveller or per passport.
(5)		At certain embassies the scheduled opening times for lodgement and collection are unreliable and inconsistent as they only open when they are ready and at some, the scheduled time window for collections is problematic to guarantee to meet most dispatch and postal cut-off times. On certain occasions it is therefore necessary and/or prudent to assign a Dedicated Courier to lodge and/or collect applications to avoid our Scheduled Courier the possible dilemma of having to abandon the wait and abort the mission in favour of other scheduled assignments. If not required and/or your travel date is not urgent or imminent, please adjust your payment accordingly.
(6)		Recommended for safer return of your passport/s and documents to you by Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day. If you require ‘Special Delivery by 9.00am’, ‘Saturday Delivery’ and/or ‘Royal Mail Consequential Loss Insurance’, please see Royal Mail Special Delivery and adjust your payment accordingly.
(7)		The most usual fee has been stated. If another fee is relevant, please adjust your payment accordingly.
(8)		Please make all payments to "Visa World" and not to the embassy. They will not accept your cheque.
(9)		Amounts not paid with order and card payments are subject to an account charge of 5% (Amex 10%), VAT exempt.
(10)		This is provided to help you to determine and compare the bottom-line total cost per traveller.
If we are communicating with you overseas whilst processing your order, please see overseas in Service Charges.
