Our Service Fees (Visa Procurement)
We are not a consulate or a government authority. Only a consulate is authorized to approve the respective visa application. We act on your behalf as a courier and, where applicable, provide other services related to your visa application. We pay the consular fee on your behalf and charge you our service fee as well as any applicable shipping costs. Our services include reviewing and processing your documents as well as submitting and collecting the visa from the competent consulate.
Our Fees per Visa/Document:
| Service | Processing Time | Gross Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 5–10 working days* | €48 |
| Express | 3 working days* | €60 |
| Urgent / Same Day | 1 working day* | €78 |
* Processing times may vary from consulate to consulate. Please contact us for details.
VAT-exempt consular fees are not included in the price list and will be charged separately. Please refer to the respective country pages for consular fees.
For some countries, an additional invitation letter is required. You can obtain this from us for an additional fee (see “Invitations” below).

If your visa must be obtained outside Austria, we can ensure the appropriate service throughout Europe via our partner companies.
