Hi Aidan, thank you for taking the time to share the details of your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your visa application was refused and that this caused you inconvenience and financial loss.
To clarify our service: the flight and hotel documents we provide are reservation confirmations issued through airline/hotel reservation systems and are intended to demonstrate proposed travel plans for visa application purposes. They are not “fully paid tickets” or hotel vouchers, and they do not include airline/hotel payment receipts unless the customer specifically requests and purchases fully paid, refundable bookings (where available). Many applicants use confirmed reservations successfully; however, visa decisions are made solely by the embassy/consulate and can depend on multiple factors beyond flight and hotel documents.
Regarding the message sent during your appointment, our representative confirmed that your reservations were confirmed/active in the reservation system at that time. This confirmation relates to the validity of the reservation itself, not a guarantee that an embassy will accept reservations in place of paid tickets or that a visa will be granted.
On reimbursement: we understand why you requested compensation. However, third-party costs such as visa fees, travel to the appointment, and photos are paid to external providers and are outside our control. For that reason, we cannot reimburse those expenses. Where applicable, we review each case for any refund eligibility under our service terms.
We would still like to look into your order carefully and see if there is any way we can assist going forward (including providing updated documentation, if needed, in line with your next application requirements). Please contact us through your original order email with your booking/reference number so our team can review the complete file.
Thank you again for the feedback. e take it seriously and will use it to improve how we explain the difference between confirmed reservations and fully paid bookings with receipts, especially for applicants whose visa centre/embassy explicitly requires proof of payment.
Warm regards,
Ryan Mitchell
