Our aim is to provide the best possible Personal Service to complement and enhance
the efficiency and speed of our Consular Services which consistently have the highest
success rate amongst all our competitors for first time acceptance of applications
on first lodgement.

This record achievement (corroborated by results which are updated daily) is maintained
because each application is checked for minimum requirements before submission.
This is the basis of us achieving almost 100% successful acceptances at first attempt.

Time is actually budgeted in order to allow for a skilled inspection of all the important
sections of the application that are troublesome and which are known to be problematic
if either the content or the way it is presented are not both exactly as required,

Supplements apply at certain embassies

####Reducing supplement 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% or 75% off, etc.) that we normally give to each
####                                        additional traveller.

####Fixed supplement is applied when each application incurs the same additional costs.

####Single supplement is activated when, due to the intensive pre-administration required
####                                        or the inevitable waiting time expected, it would not be economic
####                                        to process a single application.
####                                        Unlike many of our competitors, we do not stockpile
####                                        applications for economic or for volume processing.
####                                        We lodge each and every application at the first opportunity
####                                        once all the requirements are met, even if it means visiting an
####                                        embassy or a consular authority to submit only one application.

####Off-route supplement is only applicable if the relevant consular or government office
####                                        is outside central London or significantly off our normal routes.
####                                        The supplement will allow for the two journeys to both submit
####                                        and collect the applications. Unlike most of our competitors,
####                                        we do not charge more for each application or submission.
####                                        We charge only the one supplement per batch of applications
####                                        or documents that are being submitted and collected at the
####                                        same time.

####Miscellaneous supplement. This may apply only temporarily at an individual embassy,
####                                        or it may be relevant only to a specific classification of visa,
####                                        or it may be due to a peculiarity at a particular embassy.
####                                        If it is because we are required to also attend at a different
####                                        location address to visit another department in a different office
####                                        building or to visit a bank or a post office the supplement will be
####                                        charged at 50% of the '1st traveller' rate for the first application
####                                        and at 6.25% of the '1st traveller' rate for each subsequent
####                                        application that is dealt with at the same time.

####Waiting Time supplement is a one-off set-charge to cover the appropriate contingency
####                                        arrangements needed to prepare for and make due allowance
####                                        for the unpredictable waiting time that will inevitably be incurred
####                                        due to the excessive queues that prevail at certain embassies.
####                                        The supplement will allow for the waiting time anticipated on
####                                        both of the consular visits to lodge and collect the applications.

####                                        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.

####                                        The waiting time at a particular embassy can vary due to their

#####16. Once an order is received, a Job No. is generated for reference and
##########tracking purposes. It is most important that this Job No. is quoted
##########on every communication and especially when you are SENDING
##########DOCUMENTS to us. For fast-track attention it is best to also
##########quote the Job No. at the bottom left corner of the envelope.

##########Failure to quote the Job No. WILL CAUSE DELAY and may also
##########result in double job processing caused by the creation of a duplicate
##########file with a different Job No. (very dangerous) and charging twice in
##########error, which will in turn incur extra costs.

##########Also, when you make a telephone enquiry, we will be able to update
##########you quicker if the Job No. can be mentioned if we need to ask for it.

#####17. Please enclose a self-addressed envelope.
##########This eliminates any misreading of individual addresses and any
##########confusion as to whether the completed documents are to be returned
##########direct to the traveller or to the travel agent or to the company address.

##########The envelope does not have to be stamped or postage paid and it
##########only needs to be large enough for the return of your passport/s.

#####18. Please retain and do not send passport wallets.
##########Embassies do not like them and there is a risk of loss.

#####19. Orders that are sent to us direct from your client, contractor, employee
##########or the traveller should be clearly noted that they are to be charged to
##########your account facility so as to avoid any delay that involves payment.

#####10. Make all payments to "Visa World" and not to an embassy.
##########They will not accept your cheque.

#####11. If you are not using our order form, please enclose a separate note
##########with your contact name, address and telephone number, which
##########method of return dispatch you require (e.g. by Royal Mail Special
##########Delivery Next Day) and of course, the dispatch address. If you are
##########a travel agent, please ensure that your branch is clearly marked.

#####12. If you will require in-depth information or advice when telephoning, we
##########do hope you will understand that we can only provide this after receipt
