The company is great. simplified and uncomplicated. and very punctual which is of extreme importance.
I had a great experience with the iVisa application process. It was incredibly straightforward and user-friendly. The entire process was smooth, and I appreciated how promptly my visa was sent to me. Overall, I am very happy with the service and would definitely recommend it to family and friends.
Easy to use and keep the client of the progress where the request is up to.
I was asked to pay £50 when I applied for the visa. This was taken from my bank account as shown on my statement. Now on the visa it says that I have to pay on arrival. I do not have a receipt from the visa section, just my bank statement. I need a receipt from Visa section to show the people on arrival that I have already paid.
Unclear website. I thought I was buying my Nepal visa but it was just the form that I will need to pay again for on arrival. So I paid over the odds for a piece of paper I could have got when I arrived at the airport. Not impressed.
The on line tool is horrible - thankfully Cecilia and Nicolas were able to help get correct info into the system to complete the application.
There was clear information about filling the form and easy to understand.
Brilliant service so far. We look frwd to it continuing to the stage of having our two Visa's issues as expected. Well done team.
