The process was fairly easy

The process was fairly easy; however, I didn’t realize I’d have to upload photos as well as passports. Also, the “processing fee” was a surprise. I had read about the application fee but never saw any other costs mentioned.

Sneaky, wouldn't recommend

My mistake, but I thought I had the right website and was asked if I wanted to do the UK Standard Visa w/o help and I thought I confirmed.

I had no idea that it was outside the official site. My bad, but it certainly wasn't clear that I was getting additonal service outside of the official UK government site.

UK ETA SCAM

I Balaji R. Sahasranaman felt scammed by them charging me USD344.97 for 3 ETA applications which in reality cost USD27.00 per application totaling USD81. That's over USD 300.00 more for something which is very simple. I also shared personal passport information & credit card information with them. I feel very cheated and concerned that my personal information is floating around in a private website. I would really appreciate a refund from them.

Level of support truly stood out.

At first I had some difficulty with a section of the application and wasn’t confident that I completed it correctly. After contacting support, I received a prompt and helpful response. The guidance was clear, straightforward, and easy to understand, which resolved the issue quickly.

Illegally keeping money for services not provided

On April 9th me and my family used the services of UK visa portal last minute to buy the ETA visa. We were in a hurry and didn't realize that we were paying way too much for a service that the official government entity was offering for less than €20. While the application for my daughter worked out and she got a confirmation for the visa, the other two applications never went through. Nevertheless UK visa portal charged us for 3 applications for a total of over €400. we complained over email upon the company and asked them to refund the money paid for the two applications that were unsuccessful, as they did not provide any service for two out of three people. They so far rejected our request. We will proceed with requesting two thirds of the money back again as they did not provide any service for that amount and are considering starting legal proceedings against them if we don't get a satisfactory answer. we would like to believe this is just a very expensive service but a legit one and not that this was a scam. If they are a legit company then they should only charge for the services they provided and not keep money from customers in such an illegal manner.

The process was smooth and well organized

Many services begin with strong communication but struggle to maintain the same standard throughout the process. That wasn’t the experience here. What impressed me most was not only the clear and organized start, but the way that professionalism and structure were consistently maintained from beginning to end. Every step felt well-managed and dependable, which made the entire experience feel reliable and trustworthy.
