Blinkvisa.com will use its best endeavors to minimise any delay or inconvenience caused in this respect. However, Blinkvisa.com does not guarantee time guidelines for any visa application. Blinkvisa.com will not be held responsible if immigration authorities or any other third party change their rules, regulations or processing requirements, if that change has a direct effect on the timeline for delivery.

These costs may include but are not limited to cost of flights, rent of accommodation, loss of earnings or any other costs. Blinkvisa.com is not liable for any costs arising from any action or inaction of any immigration authority, embassy or government body associated with the visa process or indeed for the non-provision of service from any third party associated with the visa process or visa delivery; which may result in a visa application or any part in the visa application process being delayed or refused as a result.

7. For short business stay and tourist visas, Blinkvisa.com may apply for a Double or Multiple entry visa on the client’s behalf, yet the embassy may decide to grant a Single-entry visa. The decision to grant a Single-entry visa remains solely with the embassy and Blinkvisa.com do not have control over this. In this situation, Blinkvisa.com will discount your next visa application with us by the difference in the embassy visa fee.

This decision is at the discretion of the embassy and it is not something that would be known in advance by Blinkvisa.com. It may take longer than the standard processing time for such applications to be processed and this is outside the control of Blinkvisa.com. Blinkvisa.com reminds you not to book flights until your visa is granted.
