IMPORTANT: All applicants need to submit their Visa applications in person no longer than 3 months ahead of their journey and no later than 15 calendar days prior to departure.

Easy Visas will assist clients by checking applications, scheduling appointments, paying the visa costs and meeting the client at the application centre to assist with the processing of the application. Once the application is finalised we will collect and return it to the client.
