Visa questions and answers
Short answers to what travellers ask us most. Cannot find yours? Contact us.
Which visas can I apply for through GlobalVisum?
Visit visas and eVisas for destinations worldwide, including the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Japan, South Korea and China, and eVisas such as the US ESTA, the UK ETA, the Canada eTA and the India and Türkiye e-Visas. Other destinations are handled through embassy-specific solutions.
Do you guarantee that my visa is granted?
No. Nobody can. We prepare a complete application to the embassy standard and book your appointment, but the embassy or consulate of your destination makes the decision.
How do I apply?
Sign up in the portal, open Immigration and choose Global Visa Application. Add your passport and travel history, choose your destination and purpose, and confirm. We prepare the file, book the appointment where one is needed, and send the documents by DHL or make them available for download.
What does "one click" mean for my next visa?
Your passport details, travel history and family information stay in your profile. Your next application is prefilled, so you check the details, choose the new destination and confirm. Some trips still need new documents, such as a new invitation.
Can my documents be delivered to me?
Yes. Your ready-to-submit file with the appointment details can be sent by DHL courier to your address, or you can download it from the portal and print it at home.
Do you arrange hotel bookings and travel insurance?
Yes. We arrange hotel reservations, flight itineraries and travel insurance that meet embassy requirements, for example insurance cover of at least €30,000 for Schengen visas.
What does it cost?
The government visa fee and any visa centre fee are set by the destination country. Our service fee and any courier cost are shown in the portal before you confirm, so you know the total in advance.
Do I need an appointment for an eVisa?
Often not. Many eVisas and travel authorisations, such as ESTA, eTA, UK ETA and NZeTA, are applied for online. The portal shows whether your trip needs an appointment or biometrics.
Are visas for family members of EU citizens different?
Yes. Under EU free movement rules, visas for family members of EU citizens who travel with or join them are issued free of charge under an accelerated procedure. We check the family relationship and the documents needed.
