How we source this information
Fees, processing windows and document lists are re-checked against the mission's official publication and the appointed application centre's portal, then cross-referenced with bookings our desk completed in the last 90 days. Where the two disagree, the official source is what we publish.
For this page that means the official embassy or consulate website and the appointed centre portal (VFS / BLS / TLScontact).
Compliance & our scope of service
Travel To Abroad is an independent travel assistance company. We are not a government body, embassy, consulate or an authorised VAC. All applications are submitted through the official channel of the destination country and every fee, decision and interview outcome rests solely with that authority.
We assist with slot booking, rescheduling, documentation review and supporting travel documents. We do not guarantee visa approval and we do not offer immigration or legal advice.
Important: Appointment availability, government fees and document requirements can change without notice. Always confirm the latest details on the official embassy / VAC website before travel. Nothing on this page constitutes legal, immigration or financial advice.
Visa information questions
We provide assistance with official visa processes. We do not guarantee appointment availability or visa outcomes. Decisions rest solely with the relevant embassy, consulate, or authorised visa application centre.
