Cancellation and Refund Support for Travel Documentation Services
At India-s-travel, we understand that travel plans can change unexpectedly. Our cancellation and refund policy is designed to ensure fairness and transparency while complying with immigration regulations. Please review the guidelines below for a smooth process.
Eligibility for Cancellation
- Cancellation requests must be submitted within 1 hour of order placement for orders under the Normal processing category. For urgent, rush, and super rush processing requests, cancellation requests must be made within 15 minutes of order submission.
- Cancellation requests are allowed if the application has been submitted but has not yet been processed by government authorities.
- Once the application is submitted to the senior government consulate for review or is under review / approved, cancellation requests may not be accepted.
- If the customer fails to submit the required documents & Information on time, the order may be auto-canceled without a refund.
- If an application is cancelled & rejected, cancellation is no longer possible, and the fee is non-refundable.
- If the customer submits duplicate applications, they may request cancellation of one before processing begins.
- If the customers no longer wish to travel, they may request cancellation before processing starts.
- If additional documents are requested and not provided within the given timeframe, resulting in rejection, a refund may not be possible.
- Refunds will not be issued if a visa application is cancelled or denied due to incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information provided by the customers. While we strive to assist customers throughout the process, the accuracy and authenticity of the submitted details remain the customer's responsibility.
- If duplicate payments occur, customers must submit proof of both transactions to be eligible for a refund. Refunds for duplicate payments will be processed after verification and may take 3-5 business days to verify.
Refund Policy
- Refunds will be granted if cancellation is requested before processing starts.
- If the customers cannot travel due to force majeure events (e.g., medical emergencies, unforeseen personal circumstances), cancellation requests will be reviewed based on whether processing has begun.
- If technical issues affect the visa processing system, cancellation, and refund requests will be reviewed accordingly.
- Customers must ensure their visa validity aligns with travel dates before applying. If plans change, cancellation must be requested before processing starts, as no changes are allowed once processing begins.
- If the wrong visa category is selected, cancellation and refund may be possible only if requested before processing starts with the senior government consulate.
- If a visa is denied due to previous travel violations, ineligibility, or past rejections, the fee remains non-refundable.
- Refunds will be issued using the same payment method as the application; alternative methods are not allowed.
No Cancellation & Refund After Visa Issuance
- Once a visa is issued, it cannot be cancelled or refunded.
- If the customer chooses not to use an approved visa or obtains a visa on arrival, the issued visa remains valid for its intended duration and cannot be revoked.
- The fee paid remains non-refundable regardless of travel intent after issuance.
Processing Time for Cancellation & Refund and data security
- Cancellation and refund requests are typically processed immediately. However, the refund can take 4-17 business days to reflect in your bank account.
- Your provided personal data and details will be automatically removed from the system once your application is cancelled.
Additional Considerations
- Refund Fee: A processing fee of $20 or more may apply to refund requests. This fee may vary for currencies other than USD and is subject to market conditions, covering banking and processing costs.
- Refund Cancellations: Refunds may be canceled due to issues arising from the customer’s side.
- Currency Variations: The refunded amount may differ slightly from the original payment due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
