TYPES OF SERVICES

Travel Visa UK offers a simple service to assist clients with their EVW applications

Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW)

Travel Visa UK charges a fee of £99, per person for this service, which includes the government-processing fee of £30 per person for an EVW. Upon completing the EVW Application form provided on Travel Visa UK, your request for an EVW will be reviewed and submitted to governmental authorities. The system used for issuing an EVW via this Website interfaces with and UK Government systems. Your EVW Application outcome is subject to approval from the UK Government.

In the majority of instances your EVW will be processed and granted within hours. However, if any details have been entered incorrectly or are incomplete, your application may be delayed.

In some instances, an EVW Application may receive a 'request for further information' message from the UK authorities. In this instance, you will be contacted through the Client Area and will be required to provide additional information in order to proceed with your application. Please note that if any request for further details is made by Travel Visa UK, your EVW application will not be processed until the requested information is received.

An EVW is valid for one entry into the UK, for the specified duration of up to six months.

Prior to making payment for the EVW, you will have an opportunity to review all the details you have provided on your screen and make changes if necessary. If you have made an error, it is important that you correct it before proceeding. Once you have confirmed the details, you will be prompted to enter your credit card details for the non-refundable service charge. If you find out later that you have made a mistake, you can either make a new application and incur another service charge or submit your own EVW Application elsewhere.

In the event that you have an existing EVW or other valid status in the UK at the time we attempt to process the EVW, the fee you have paid to Travel Visa UK for another EVW is non-refundable. In such circumstances, we will issue you with confirmation of your current EVW status and the charge is applied to cover costs for the use of our system resources.

Please do not arrange any travel to the UK until you have received email notification that your EVW Application has been approved by the UK Government. Travel Visa UK takes no responsibility for changes to a client's travel plans due to EVW processing and inherent delays.

"While every effort will be made to make sure your electronic visa waiver document includes the correct information, it is your responsibility to make sure the information on your electronic visa waiver matches your passport and travel details exactly, and any mistakes are notified for challenging prior to 48 hours of travel. Travel Visa UK and the UK government are not responsible for any direct or indirect loss or damages if you are refused permission to travel."

Travel Visa UK charges a fee of £564, per person for this service which includes the government processing fee for:

• 6-months visa - £95

Should you intend to apply for a visa for a longer period, please be advised that there will be an additional fee, as documented below.

• 2 years visa - £361
• 5 years - £655
• 10 years - £822

Additional fees may also be payable directly to the relevant Visa Application Centre (VAC) for visas with a longer validity period and additional items such as biometrics collection fees, health checks or police checks where required.

Upon payment for the Visitor Visa managed service on our website, your profile will reviewed by our UK Migration Consultant. Your Registered UK Migration Consultant will contact you with instructions on the documentation and forms required to enable us to submit your electronic application directly with the relevant UK Home Office and UK Visas & Immigration. Your Visitor Visa grant is subject to approval from the UK Government.

Travel Visa UK relies on your cooperation in providing the requested documentation and will not be able to proceed with lodging the visa application with the Home Office without the necessary material. Should you fail to respond to any requests for additional documentation received from the Home Office, you understand that this will likely result in a refusal of your visitor visa application. Furthermore, you understand that even where the specific items have been provided to the Home Office, it is within their discretion to refuse the application should they believe that you are not able to meet the visitor visa requirements.

Please do not arrange any travel to the United Kingdom until you have received email notification that the United Kingdom Government has approved your Visitor Visa request. Travel Visa UK takes no responsibility for changes to a client's travel plans due to visa processing.
