Where we begin
Prepare for your particular trip
A visa is for your particular trip, with a specific passport, Serbian status, itinerary and source of income. We first check the available application procedure and timeframes, then prepare the visa case: consistent dates, clear funding, correct forms and required evidence.
Planning a family trip
We will coordinate forms, dates, accommodation and funding. We will separately prepare evidence of family relationships and the child’s documents.
A previous refusal or a complex history
We will review the earlier decision and form and identify inconsistencies. The new case will be built on actual circumstances and documents, rather than resubmitting the same package.
Documents, timeframes and costs

Each country has its own documents, fees and sequence. The main guidance is below; before payment, we will check current rules for your passport and status in Serbia.

This depends on the consulate, category and available slots. It is not included in the official 15 days for Schengen or 3 weeks for UK processing.
Decision and document return
We will confirm the specific country’s timeframe, additional checks and receipt of the passport or electronic result. These stages should be considered before planning non-refundable spending.

Before work begins
Answers before booking and payment
Can I apply from Serbia with a Russian passport?
Eligibility depends on the destination country and your residence documents in Serbia. We will check current consular and appointment conditions before fee payment. Russian-speaking applicants with other citizenships are assessed using their own passport, not a general checklist for Russian nationals.
Can I choose the Schengen country with the fastest appointment?
The application location follows the actual trip: the main country of stay or, for equal durations, the first country of entry. We will help substantiate your itinerary and apply where the application should be considered.
I am a sole trader or receive income from another country — how do I show this?
We will examine your actual source of funds: employment, business, savings or sponsorship. We will compare the evidence with the form and travel budget and explain the documents and clarifications needed by the specific consulate.
Do I need to buy tickets in advance?
We will first check the specific country’s booking requirements. Non-refundable tickets before a decision create unnecessary risk; for the US, the Department of State expressly recommends not buying tickets until the visa is issued.
Can you submit everything on my behalf?
In many cases, we prepare the form and documents remotely. Personal attendance for an interview, biometrics or passport submission depends on the country and category; we will identify in advance where your participation is mandatory.
What should I do after a refusal?
Send us the decision and previous form. We will first check the reasons, disputed information and changed circumstances, then prepare a new plan. Resubmitting the same documents without reviewing the issue is not advisable.
