FAQs International Visa Assistance

Isarey works to assist with applications made at embassies and consulates located in over 100 countries. We offer expert on-the-ground assistance through a network of local agents.

Isarey assists with all types of visa, but we specialise and in assisting companies and organisations with business and professional visas (including investment, entrepreneur and start-up visas, employment visas and work permits). We can assist with visa applications for most countries.

Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality, which country you want to visit and the purpose and duration of your visit. Send us an email, or complete our Online Inquiry Form, and we will check for you.

Some countries allow visa applications to be made online (e-visas), otherwise applications must be submitted to an embassy or consulate representing the country you are travelling to – in some cases the application must be made at the embassy located in the country where you are officially resident or in the country of your nationality. However not all countries have embassies in every other country, so sometimes you will need to apply in an embassy located abroad. When applying from abroad, the assistance of a local agent is invaluable to ensure that applications are successful and securely handled.

Isarey can assist in confirming what type of visa you need and in preparing your application form and supporting documents. We will personally submit your passport and application to the embassy where physical attendance by the applicant is not required and we can personally assist you at the embassy if you do need to attend; we’ll take care of fees, we’ll liaise with embassy staff throughout the process and we’ll collect your passport and visa from the embassy when it’s ready for return by secure courier or arrange delivery in person (e.g. at the airport).

Depending on the type of visa, some embassies require applicants to attend in person (for example, to provide biometric data) and in some cases appointments must be made in advance. In other cases, we can submit and collect the application on your behalf so that you don’t need to attend in person. However, it is always possible that the embassy will request a personal interview.

Visa processing times vary depending on the embassy and the type of visa being applied for; in any case, it’s always a good idea to leave as much time as possible before you are due to travel to arrange your visa.

We provide urgent applications where embassies allow this option, and we’ll work to ensure that visa applications are processed as quickly as possible.

Visa rules are complex and consulates can be very particular. A small error in your application, a missing document or non-compliant photograph could lead to your visa being delayed or your application being rejected altogether, usually with no refund of visa fees. A local visa agent offers local expertise and experience in dealing with consulates and ensuring that applications are submitted successfully. A local agent is also invaluable if any clarifications are needed, to liaise directly with the consulate staff, and applications submitted through a local agent are often faster.

First complete Online Inquiry Form or get in contact by email. We’ll confirm the type of visa you require, where you need to apply, then what documents you need to provide. We’ll also confirm the total cost of the process, including all fees and expenses. Once your order is confirmed we will assist in preparing the documents and will arrange a secure courier to deliver your application to our local agent.

We treat the content of all applications we process, especially personal data, as strictly confidential. We will not use this content, and will not permit it to be used, for any purpose other than to complete the application.

If any document in your application contains personal data that is not your own, please ensure that you have consent from the owner of the data. We cannot be held liable in any event where personal data is transmitted to us without the consent of its owner.
