| We can apply for a visa for you in Dublin and return you your passport back to you using a courier service (DHL, UPS, FedEx etc.) You must send us a complete visa application with all documents included. We do check your application but it is a quick check. If there are incorrect documents, or documents missing, we cannot send your application in and this will result in delays. In general we will make a charge of €160 for this service which includes your application fee, the cost of any appeal and the cost of sending your passport back to you. This is non-refundable. |

| Unsuccessful Visa Applications: |
| |
| Most visa refusals are for very simple reasons. Before you apply, read the visa requirements and make sure you have included everything. Generally the main reasons are as follows: |
| Inconsistency in application (eg. dates not agreeing on an employers letter and on your application.) |
|
| Financial support documents incorrect or missing |
|
| Missing information on an employer's letter |
|
| |
| Visa refusals can be appealed. You should find out the reasons for the visa refusal, and then submit the correct or additional documents. If you are having difficulty with this, please contact us. In all cases we must have your visa application number in order to help you. |
| |
| Refunds: |
| |
| If your Visa Application is declined, you must make an appeal before we will refund fees. We reserve the right to charge a handling fee in cases where you have been found to make a fraudulent application. Also, bank charges (where applicable) will be deducted from the fees refunded. |
