Our Service

Our function consists of processing online requests to obtain visas and other travel documents. We use an in-house service in which we inform, collect information and present the name of the applicant to the corresponding authorities or bodies. It is clear from this moment, that by providing you a service, you become our customer and therefore the conditions described apply to you. Our responsibility and objective is limited to the receipt, management, help and support in the visa and travel documents process and falls short of the decisions of the corresponding governmental authority in relation to the final result of the application.

When you send us your application and it is accepted, you will receive an email in which we will notify you of said acceptance. Given the characteristics of the order, it will be carried out as soon as possible. The request, processing and acquisition of a visa is a fully personalised service for the customer. From this precise moment the contract is formalised between you and ourselves, being a valid, current and binding legal transaction.

Our service consists of processing online travel documents and visas, and is used to request and process the Electronic Visa for foreign and national citizens. Our team of agents will help in processing the Travel Authorisation of the Government. Our exclusive services include, amongst other things; a detailed check of all of the answers provided, translation of the information, assistance when completing the form, checking the document is fully complete, and a grammar check.

The governmental authorities are authorised to request additional documentation, if necessary, which we will in turn request from you. This documentation can relate to various factors that are not dependent upon our company, and in our work as agents we will ask you as the customer. You agree to send said additional documentation to us to be able to complete your visa in the time period stipulated by the government. Otherwise, your application will expire, due to the failure of your obligations as a customer, cancelling the application without possibility of a refund of any of the amounts paid given that there is no error, omission or fault attributable to our company.

Our work will, as far as possible, be to provide you with accurate and clear information to ensure you obtain your visa, in due form and on time. You must bear in mind that the criteria is general and variable, depending on the relevant authority who may change the requirements. Our work will be to inform you promptly of any changes that may occur.

Obtaining a visa solely depends on the authority in charge of this function, so we cannot guarantee under any circumstances that it will be issued and on time, so the fees paid to our company are for the processing, management, help and support, and never as an issuer of visas.

Fees include the charges for our service, those charged by the competent authority, if a courier service is required it will be paid for by the customer. Our companies’ fees are non-refundable, as are the payments made in your name to the authorities.

Limitation of Liability

The authority issuing the documents will make the decision in relation to the submitted application. As we have already pointed out, additional documentation may be required for the processing of the visas. Likewise, the authority may reject any application with or without a reason given.

For this reason, we recommend you apply in good time, as well as postponing purchasing tickets or their equivalents until the visa is obtained. Our company takes no responsibility for costs related to these under any circumstances.

The work of our company, and for which every effort will be made in every respect, is the processing of applications ordered by the customer. At no time will it be liable for possible delays, justified or otherwise, by the government authorities in their acceptance of the application. Neither will it be responsible for possible extra costs which may arise from managing the visa application.

The disputes that may arise from this agreement will be governed by Spanish Law and through the acceptance of this, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts situated in Barcelona.

Our company will not be partially or fully responsible for errors, omissions or delays in relation to necessary third parties, such as transport or logistics companies, or for personal delivery to the address of the requested documentation. In the event of any problem or delay, the applicant must settle the dispute directly with the third party, given that our work is to process and send the requested item in so far as we are able to and we never respond for third parties outside our company.
