Supporting Visa Documents
Many embassies and visa application centres ask for supporting documents before a visa can be issued. Where these are required, we’re happy to help you put them in place:
- Flight reservations — dummy or onward flight itineraries for your application.
- Proof of accommodation — confirmed hotel or lodging reservations.
- Comprehensive travel insurance that meets your visa’s requirements.
These are entirely optional support services, available for a small additional service fee — there simply to make your application smoother and more convenient.
We regularly recommend three trusted visa partners, each offering a different service level and price point — so there is a good fit whatever your needs and budget.
