Refund policies for travel/visa services depend on the organization, agency, or service provider you're
working with. Here are some general guidelines and things to consider:
1.1. Government or Official Visa Fees
- Most government visa fees (e.g., application fees for U.S, Canada, UK visas) are non
refundable, regardless of whether your visa is approved, denied, or withdrawn.
- It's important to check the official immigration website of the country to confirm their refund
policy.
1.2. Visa Service Providers or Agencies
- Processing Fees: If you hire an agency or consultant to assist with your visa application, their
service fees are often non-refundable, as they typically charge for the effort and expertise invested in
preparing your application.
- Partial Refunds: Some agencies may offer partial refunds if services are cancelled before
significant work has been done (e.g., before submitting your application).
- No Refunds After Submission: Once your application has been submitted, most agencies and
service providers will not offer a refund.
1.3. Third-Party Costs
- Costs like document translation, attestation, courier services, or travel insurance are usually
non-refundable, as these are separate from travel / visa fees.
1.4. Cancellation Policies
- If you cancel the service early, before significant work is done, you may be entitled to a partial
refund, depending on the government, provider’s, banker’s terms and conditions.
