Frequently asked questions
How long does visa processing take from Pakistan?
It depends on the destination and embassy workload. Gulf e-visas often take 24 to 72 hours; Southeast Asian e-visas about 5 to 10 working days; Schengen 15 to 30 calendar days; the UK Standard Visitor visa around 3 to 6 weeks; USA and Canada vary with appointment backlogs and IRCC queues. Because authorities keep full discretion, start several weeks early.
How much bank balance is required for a visit visa?
Embassies assess stability and source of funds more than one lump sum. A 6-month statement with regular deposits matching your salary slips or tax filings is the goal. A sudden large deposit without a paper trail can trigger refusal. We audit your statement and help you document the financial trail honestly.
Do I need to visit your Islamabad office?
You are welcome at our Blue Area office, but a visit is not compulsory. We regularly handle files for applicants in Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi and overseas through WhatsApp and email.
Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?
No. No agency can ethically guarantee approval; the embassy decides. Anyone promising a "100% guarantee" is misleading you. We present your file with correct formatting, genuine evidence, verified bookings and a clear cover letter.
Are flight and hotel reservations included in file preparation?
Yes. Full file-preparation packages include verifiable flight reservations and confirmed hotel vouchers with booking codes that match your itinerary, so you do not have to pay for non-refundable tickets before approval.
What if my visa was refused before?
A past refusal does not permanently bar travel. We review the refusal notice, identify the cited grounds (such as financial ambiguity or weak ties) and build a re-application file that addresses each concern with fresh, authentic evidence.
How do you handle VFS Global and Gerry's appointments?
Slots can be competitive in peak season. We monitor availability, book your biometric slot, pay booking fees and hand you a neatly indexed file for the appointment.
