Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

No. VisaRequest is a fully private, independent visa consultancy. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government body, embassy, high commission, or official visa authority. We provide informational visa consulting, document review, and advisory guidance only.
No visa consultancy - ours included - can guarantee approval. All visa decisions rest entirely with the relevant embassy or consulate. We help you understand requirements and review your documents so you can submit a clearer, better-prepared application.
Decision timelines vary by embassy and visa type. Standard short-stay Schengen visas often take around 15 working days after you submit, but this can change. We advise starting your document preparation at least 6-8 weeks before your intended travel date. For urgent travel, our urgent consultation helps you understand available options and requirements quickly.
Yes. We work extensively with businesses managing travel for employees. Whether it's a single business trip or ongoing corporate travel planning, we review documentation, letters, and submission requirements efficiently. Our Long Stay Premium package includes dedicated advisory support for business clients.
We have experience advising clients on VFS Global, Capago, and embassy-direct submission requirements across Pretoria and Johannesburg. Our team is familiar with common requirements used by embassies across Europe, the UK, the USA, Asia, and across Africa.

Our team reviews your enquiry and contacts you within 2 business hours (during working hours).
