Important Disclaimer

Please read this section carefully

Independent Service Provider

GVS International is an independent visa facilitation and consultancy service. We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, authorised by, or representing any Embassy, Consulate, High Commission, Government Immigration Department, or Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of any country, including India or any foreign nation.

The use of country names, embassy names, or destination-related terms on our website is solely for the purpose of identifying the services we offer. This does not imply any official association or endorsement by those entities.

Visa fees, biometric fees, and other charges payable directly to Embassies, Consulates, or Visa Application Centres are non-refundable regardless of the application outcome. Our service charges are separate from and in addition to any government-imposed fees.

GVS International's consultation and service fee is charged for the professional assistance we provide in preparing and submitting your application. This fee is non-refundable once the application process has commenced, regardless of the visa outcome.

05

No Guarantee of Visa Approval

Understanding the limits of our assistance

Visa Approval Cannot Be Guaranteed

While GVS International is proud of its strong track record and approximately 96% overall visa approval success rate, we explicitly state that no visa consultancy — including GVS International — can guarantee visa approval under any circumstances. Any agent or company claiming to guarantee visa approval is making a fraudulent promise.

Visa approval or rejection is exclusively at the discretion of the Embassy, Consulate, Visa Officer, or Immigration Authority of the destination country. Factors that influence the decision include but are not limited to:

  • Applicant's travel history, passport validity, and prior visa rejections
  • Financial stability, employment status, and purpose of travel
  • Current geopolitical relations between countries
  • Embassy-specific policies, quotas, or seasonal restrictions
  • Accuracy and completeness of documents submitted
  • Discretion of the individual Visa Officer reviewing your application

Visa processing timelines are estimates based on typical embassy turnaround times and are not guaranteed. Processing times may be impacted by embassy workload, national holidays, political events, or force majeure circumstances beyond our control.

06

Applicant's Responsibility

What you are responsible for

As the visa applicant, you are solely and entirely responsible for the following:

  • Truthful disclosure: Providing accurate, complete, and honest information and documents at all times — including travel history, prior visa refusals, criminal record (if any), and purpose of travel
  • Genuine documents: Ensuring all documents submitted are authentic, valid, and current. Submission of forged or misrepresenting documents is a criminal offence
  • Full disclosure: Revealing all previous visa rejections from any country, whether or not you were asked explicitly
  • Compliance with visa conditions: Adhering strictly to the terms and conditions of any visa granted, including duration of stay, permitted activities, and entry points
  • Immigration law compliance: Obeying all immigration laws, regulations, and requirements of the destination country throughout your visit
  • Independent verification: Independently verifying the legitimacy of all job offers, travel arrangements, accommodations, invitations, and business dealings abroad
  • Travel insurance: Obtaining appropriate travel and medical insurance as required by the destination country (mandatory for Schengen and some other visas)

GVS International will not be held responsible for any consequences arising from inaccurate, incomplete, or false information provided by the applicant. Any visa rejection, overstay, deportation, or legal action arising from such misrepresentation is entirely the applicant's responsibility.

07

Limitation of Liability

Scope of our legal responsibility

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GVS International, its directors, partners, employees, agents, and associates shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive losses arising from:

  • Visa rejection, cancellation, or revocation by any Embassy, Consulate, or Immigration Authority
  • Delays in visa processing beyond our reasonable control, including embassy closures or backlogs
  • Losses arising from incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information provided by the applicant
  • Changes in visa policies, fees, documentation requirements, or eligibility criteria by foreign governments
  • Financial losses including but not limited to non-refundable flight tickets, hotel bookings, or advance payments made in anticipation of visa approval
  • Actions, decisions, or conduct of third-party service providers including airlines, hotels, or tour operators
  • Denial of entry at a destination country's port of entry despite holding a valid visa
  • Any circumstances beyond our reasonable control including force majeure events, strikes, or government restrictions

Our maximum liability in any claim relating to our services shall not exceed the service fee actually paid by the applicant to GVS International for the specific service in question.

08

Fraud Warning & Safety Advisory

Protect yourself from scams

Beware of Fraudulent Visa Agents & Fake Job Offers

India has witnessed a dramatic rise in visa fraud, fake employment scams, and human trafficking linked to fraudulent overseas job offers. GVS International categorically warns all applicants against engaging with unverified agents, websites, or individuals promising guaranteed visas or guaranteed overseas employment.

Please be aware of the following red flags — GVS International will NEVER:

  • Guarantee visa approval or promise definite embassy outcomes
  • Arrange, facilitate, or guarantee overseas employment or work placement
  • Demand unusually large upfront payments or request payments via unknown channels
  • Ask for your original passport, bank account credentials, or Aadhaar card via email or WhatsApp
  • Operate via unofficial phone numbers, WhatsApp groups, or social media accounts not listed on this website
  • Ask you to travel to an unsafe destination under the pretext of a tourist or visitor visa
Report Fraud Immediately

If you suspect that someone is impersonating GVS International or offering fraudulent visa or employment services in our name, please contact us immediately:

You may also report visa fraud to the Bureau of Immigration, India or the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
