POLICY TERMS

NON-REFUNDABLE FEES

Please note that this policy cannot and will not apply to government fees remitted to the issuing authority, or other pertinent Governmental agencies. When you send a payment to a government agency, you agree to pay for a government service.

CHARGEBACK NOTICE

By obtaining our services, you agreed to be bound by the service terms and our refund policy. Utilizing a chargeback to obtain a refund outside of these conditions is a violation of these terms.

We take this issue extremely seriously and may report suspicious payment disputes to both the payment processors as well as the US Government’s issuing body, and other pertinent agencies as applicable, along with accompanying proof of fraud. As chargeback fraud is a crime, such conduct can result in being temporarily or permanently barred from entry to the destination country, as well as result in possible criminal and civil charges.

We encourage our clients to contact us to solve any issues they may have encountered, and to prevent any potential or future issues.

FEE DETAILS - FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY

Costs For Travel Documents

All travel document applicants are required to pay a visa fee to the US Government’s issuing body. How much the application fee costs and when it must be paid, always depends on the type of document applied for. Before you apply for a travel document, you should therefore find out exactly which type of travel document meets your traveling needs and which issuing authority charges the processing fees for that document.

Payment Methods

The visa fee can be paid at U.S. Consulates/Embassies worldwide through various options. The following payment options are available:

• online bank transfer

• debit card

• credit card

• immediate bank transfer

• cash deposit with a bank

Note: In some countries (such as Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) payment cannot be made by credit card or girocard.

When paying, all instructions should be followed exactly so that the payment is registered quickly. In particular, the reference number should always be noted in the subject line, otherwise, there may be delays in processing. In the worst case, the visa fee may have to be paid again.

Practical tip: We strongly recommend the use of a credit card.

Please feel free to contact us for more information at support@staging.govassist.com!

Handling fees - Our Travel Document Service

In addition to the application fees, translation costs, etc., a consulting and process handling fee is charged when you commission our travel assistance services agency.
