The entire process was easy to understand and fast the system almost did all was just to follow the guidelines.
The process was surprisingly quick and easy. Minor problem is that I'm traveling with my husband and the document came back stating that I was not traveling with family. That statement didn't come from me.
For someone who is computer illiterate, the application process was very easy and I received confirmation immediately that it was correct and complete.
Customer service is quick and professional. Best way to get a visa.
First time using and it was much faster than a paper form.
Strange that had to pay almost 300 US dollars for something that we as Swiss citizens traveling to Belize don’t even need a visa and the final documents came well after we took the flight and cleared immigration
Im very satisfied with ivisa, their service is very fast, and good.
I have already paid for the visa WHY are they asking me to pay again to complete the process ??? Why are they calling it insurance? Why not visa? I didn’t apply for insurance but for VISA
I really thanks ivisa, i can t imagine that all my papers is already mine in only 3 hours .oh my God really good job ivisa..thanks a lot
