BY USING Visas International SERVICE I AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT:
• my passport must be valid for at least six months after the expiry date (exit date) of my final visa in order to be valid for the visa application process.
• I must provide one blank passport page for each visa I have applied for and in some cases 2 blank pages.
• if I have made any mistakes on my visa forms, or have not completed any section of the visa application forms, that I am putting my visa application at risk of delay or rejection.
• if my photos are not attached to each visa application form in the way specified in the instructions provided with my visa application form, or if the photos are the wrong size, colour, print quality as per the instructions provided with my visa application form, that my visa application cannot be processed.
• I am advised not make any travel arrangements until I have the correct visas in my passport and that Visas International does not accept any responsibility for any costs, inconveniences, delays or situations of any kind if this advice is not followed.
• that even having all the correct visas and paperwork does not guarantee entry or easy passage into a country and that at any time and with no warning the country can change all of the requirements for entering the country.
• that Visas International is not in any way guaranteeing that a visa will be obtained or that entry into the country will be guaranteed. Visas International is assisting soley with the application process for a visa and has no powers to issue a visa itself. No fees will be returned in the case that an embassy or other visa issuing authority refuses to grant a visa.
• there is no accurate way to provide timings for visas as Embassies can change the rules at any time and they are under no legal obligation to provide a reason.
• The fees paid are for the Embassies to consider my visa application and do not guarantee I will be granted a visa and that if refused the Embassy is under no obligation to provide warning or reason.
• even where a visa is issued this does not guarantee entrance into that country.
• Visas International may engage third parties in the process of applying for my visas.
• in consideration of the above, that my passport and personal data will be processed by Visas International and passed on only to third parties and authorities who require it to ensure that the visa application is properly considered.

• any claim regarding the above should be directed to the third party and the involvement of the Company is limited only to offering assistance.
• no translation services are offered and that the Company does not verify any information on visa applications or visas issued.
• Visas International does not accept any liability for any loss of any kind caused by inaccuracies on any visas that were created by third parties such as Embassies. In such a situation the Company will do what it can to advise and assist but I understand that it is my responsibility to check for any such errors on any visas I am issued and alert the company in a timely manner. If there are errors directly caused Visas International it will correct the errors to the visa but does not take any responsibility for delays to travel arrangements, which should not be made until the visas are issued correctly.
• Visas International will ask for personal data which is only in connection with my visa or letter of invitation application. In order to process my visa or letter of invitation application, Visas International will only pass the data on to required third parties such as foreign government bodies or service providers needed to provide the service of getting my visa, who will become responsible for my data.

OUR REFUND POLICY
Our refund policy is 3 tier depending on how much work we have already done and how much money we have already given to the Embassies:
• 1) If you have not sent in any documentation for processing, you will be entitled to a full refund of all the Invite/Embassy and Visas International administrative fees.
• 2) If you have sent in your documentation and processing has started, but no Invites/visas have been obtained, you will be entitled to a full refund of all Invite/Embassy fees, but only 50% of Visas International administrative fees.

OUR DELIVERY POLICY
• In ordering your visas, you should understand that visa applications can sometimes be a slow process and each visa can take 1.5-2 weeks to obtain. Further that there is no completely accurate way to provide timings for visas as Embassies can change the rules at any time, though most give guidance on their average processing times. The information displayed on visasint.com is based on those average timings.
• We will endeavour to obtain your visas and deliver them back to you in the quickest time possible. In doing so, we will be required to pass on some of your personal data – your name, delivery address and sometimes phone number – to the third party responsible for couriering your passport and/or documents back to you.
