Refund Policy

1. Introduction

This Refund Policy outlines the procedures for handling refunds for all services offered through this website, including travel and tour services, visa assistance, e-visa applications, and ETA application support. All services are provided in accordance with applicable laws of the United States and relevant state jurisdictions.

2. Scope of Services

This policy applies to all paid services, including but not limited to:

  • 1. Tour packages and travel arrangements

  • 2. E-visa and ETA application support

Each service involves professional time, administrative work, and coordination. For this reason, service fees are generally non-refundable once service delivery has begun.

3. Nature of Services

Our services include eligibility review, document checks, application preparation, submission assistance, and coordination with third-party travel providers where applicable. Once work has commenced, costs are incurred, and resources are allocated.

4. Refund Eligibility

Refunds may be considered only under the following circumstances:

  • 1. A duplicate payment has been made for the same service.

  • 2. The service has not started, and a written refund request is submitted within 24 hours of payment.

  • 3. A refund is required where mandated by applicable law.

All refund requests are reviewed at our discretion and on a case-by-case basis.

5. Non-Refundable Situations

Refunds will not be issued in the following situations:

  • Once travel or tour services have commenced, including bookings, reservations, confirmations, or coordination with third-party suppliers

  • Once an e-visa or ETA application has been submitted to any government authority

  • If an application or travel request is delayed, refused, cancelled, or rejected by a government authority or third-party provider

  • If inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information or documents are provided

  • If required documentation or details are not supplied within the requested timeframe

  • If the client cancels or withdraws after the service has started, including changes of mind or personal reasons

6. Government and Third-Party Fees

Government fees, including official visa or travel authorisation charges, are strictly non-refundable.

For travel services, refunds for flights, accommodations, transportation, or activities are subject to the terms and conditions of the airlines, hotels, tour operators, and other third-party suppliers. We do not control and are not responsible for their refund decisions or processing timelines.

7. Refund Request Procedure

To request a refund, clients must:

  • 1. Email at [email protected] with the subject line “Refund Request”

  • 2. Provide full name, contact details, proof of payment, and the reason for the request

  • 3. Submit the request within the applicable timeframe

Refund requests are reviewed within 5-10 business days. Clients will receive a written response once a decision has been made.

Approved refunds will be processed using the original payment method, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

8. Refund Processing Time

Once approved, refunds may take between 5 and 15 business days to appear, depending on the bank or payment provider. We are not responsible for delays caused by the third-party payment provider or the bank.

9. Service Concerns and Dispute Resolution

If you have any concerns about our services, please contact us first to seek a resolution. We aim to address issues professionally and fairly before initiating any chargeback or formal dispute.
