How it works

A visa application is a paperwork problem, not a travel problem. Visakaro exists to do the paperwork properly and tell you the truth about how long it will take.

1. Pick where you are going

Search for the destination and you get the full cost immediately, split into two numbers: the government fee, passed through at cost, and our service fee. Tax of 18% applies to our service fee only, as the law requires. There is no third number waiting at checkout.

2. Answer a short interview

One question per screen rather than a form with forty fields. Photograph your passport and the machine-readable strip fills in your name, passport number, date of birth and expiry — so the questions that follow are the ones we genuinely cannot work out. Anything read from the strip is checked against its own check digits before it is used, and anything that fails that check is shown to you to confirm rather than filed silently.

Up to 10 travellers can go on one application. Each one needs their own passport, because a visa is issued to a named person and not to a party.

3. We check and file

Before anything reaches an authority a person checks the documents against that destination's requirements — photograph dimensions, passport validity, the supporting papers that particular consulate insists on. Getting this wrong is the most common reason an application is rejected, and it is the part that is entirely avoidable.

4. Track it, and hold us to the date

Your account shows where the application actually is: submitted, documents verified, with the authority, decided. No reference numbers to keep and no emails to search for. Every application carries a promised date, and if we miss it your service fee comes back automatically — see the on-time guarantee.

What we cannot do

We are not a government body and we do not decide the outcome of any application. We prepare and submit it correctly and on time. The decision belongs to the destination's immigration authority, always.
