As part of a work secondment, we chose to use CIBT and paid their fee upfront. However, I heard nothing for a month, had to chase them up myself, at which point they said the process would be expedited due to the lack of communication. One week later, still nothing. So unresponsive and not at all professional as they take money and do nothing.

This company is a scam. They charge me £124 for an alleged visa I never received, I call them wanting to cancel the service, they told me that I wouldn't be reimbursed, according to them what I hired was information about how to travel from Edinburgh to Turkey and COVID19, when all these details are provided by the government free.

Worst experience ever using a visa application agency. Doesn't check through materials promptly, kept requesting additional/revised materials in a piecemeal manner even though it is an urgent visa application and time is of the essence. It would have been a lot less work if doing the application by oneself without having to go through them. Avoid this agency if you don't want to risk cancelling your trip last minute.

Do not use CIBT if you can help it. Expressed to them the need for my passport to be returned by next Thursday, they made no record of this. They instead suggest I should simply change my flight, as if this doesn’t cost anything. The Call center people are clueless and will just tell you what you want to hear at the time. Really shocking customer service, you can’t speak to the same person twice. Do not give them your money

Do yourself a favour and avoid. Used this company to obtain a tourist visa for Russia having been ‘recommended’ to by our tour Provider Newmarket holidays. Quoted me one price before I ordered, then tried to charge me double once I had sent them all the required documents by special delivery and they were in possession of everything I needed to go direct to the embassy. Spoke to two different people in different offices who told me different stories about the price (all when ringing the main office number). £150 handling fee for one tourist visa meant I was going to be paying double what I

Use them frequently as unfortunately our corporate account is linked to them for business travel- immensely time consuming and frustrating to deal with. You make one enquiry, one person responds, then another and someone else responds- telling you the opposite info/details to previous` and ask you to repeat the entire situation regarding your case' status/process as they dont pass on the details internally. Pretty unprofessional and frustrating, am recommending another visa company to my director as have received similar feedback from members of our team.

I was previously going to use a company called Travcour Ltd but they were totally dreadful, they made the whole experience terrifying and i spent a lot of time looking for another company i felt would make this easy. CIBT Visas or Visa Central as they're know, were brilliant. Each time i called them (Which was a lot!!!, they spent a lot of time giving me all of the information i needed to apply for my tourist visa for the Philippines. They were so very helpful and the costs were really reasonable and i received my passport safely back today. I would recommend them, they took he stress out of the
