Terms on Liability

It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that he familiarizes himself with his visa activation date and that the client enters the country to activate his visa before the visa activation date passes. The client’s visa is liable to be canceled once the visa expiration date passes if the client has not entered before this date. The client bears all responsibility and liability in such situations.
VISAThing™ bears no responsibility or liability for you breaking any existing visa terms and conditions (including overstaying) that you hold or previously held which results in you subsequently becoming illegal in another country. It is your responsibility to ensure that you remain legal at all times while you are in another country. VISAThing™ will not be held responsible for any loss or damage caused by an embassy/consulate issuing an incorrect visa or incorrect details on a visa as this is out of our control. VISAThing™ shall not be held responsible under any circumstance to compensate you for any loss, damage, or delay of passports or travel documents by any third-party courier/delivery company.
VISAThing™ cannot be held responsible for incorrect details on a visa as it is the client's responsibility to check the received Visa Grant Notification letter and make sure that the passport details on the visa letter appear exactly as they appear on the passport. Please note that failure to do so may result in significant delays/missed flights/additional travel expenses/not being allowed to enter the relevant country. VISAThing™ should not be held responsible for costs incurred as a result of not following the above obligation. As our client, it is your responsibility to declare any facts which may adversely affect your case via email before engaging our services. This may include but is not limited to previous visa refusal, a record of fraudulence/overstay, serious medical conditions, and serious criminal convictions. Non-disclosure of such pertinent facts may result in the visa application being delayed or refused.
A visa may be canceled at any point in time after the visa grant letter is issued if it is discovered that the information provided to VISAThing™ and in turn to the immigration authorities for the visa application is deemed to be false and/or misleading information. In the event of a visa being canceled on such grounds, VISAThing™ will bear no responsibility for any costs, grievances, liabilities, or any other outcomes suffered by the Client/Service Recipient(s) that results from the cancellation of a visa application arranged through VISAThing™. The provision of visa services from VISAThing™ to a client ends as soon as a decision is reached by an authorized immigration officer on a visa application. No further work or services will be provided or included from VISAThing™ to the client as part of the visa service provision unless already included in the original contract. VISAThing™ may from time to time provide information or an opinion to the client outside of the provision of immigration visa services. This information may include but is not limited to information relating to travel and visa entry dates, travel options, flight routes, accommodation, geography, and general information about life in another country. None of this information or opinion shall be considered to be part of the service. VISAThing™ will not be held responsible for any inaccuracies or unsuitability of such information. It is the client’s responsibility to review and confirm for himself the accuracy and suitability of any such information.
Where a visa service or an ancillary service is provided to a client via a franchise executive, the executive/agent is responsible for taking the initial information and payment. Information received by VISAThing™ from the agent is understood to be true and complete. Should the client provide conflicting information at a later date to VISAThing™, VISAThing™ will not be responsible for the result of the application.
VISAThing™ reserves the right to return any passport without the requested visa if the passport or the documents provided do not comply with the immigration requirements or if there is insufficient time to process the visa. In the event of loss or damage to any passport or documents in transit through Courier or at the embassy/consulate/immigration offices, VISAThing™ will not be entitled to any liability for the consequential loss.
VISAThing™ cannot be held responsible for any expense and/or delay arising from incomplete application forms, inaccurate/false or incomplete information provided, or inaccurate/false or incomplete supporting documentation. VISAThing™ cannot lodge a visa application until it has complete documentation as outlined in the registration pack and any subsequent documentation requested by VISAThing™ from the main applicant. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the documentation provided to VISAThing™ at the time of submitting a visa application is valid, up to date, and within date.
VISAThing™ will always lodge a visa application in the applicants’ best interest. VISAThing™ does not have the authority to grant a visa/permit of any kind. We cannot guarantee a positive result on a visa application or any assessment or review in arriving at the final result, which is part of the visa process. The final decision on all applications rests with the relevant authority responsible for issuing that result.
It is the client's responsibility to provide VISAThing™ with all required information and documentation concerning an application. This may include but is not limited to documentation from third parties such as partners, family, employers, sponsors, assessment bodies, educational bodies, etc. If the required documentation does not meet the requirements of VISAThing™, VISAThing™ retains the right not to lodge that visa application until it has received all of the required information to do so. If immigration advice provided by one immigration officer / consular official conflicts with that of a visa-issuing immigration officer at the port of entry, such conflicting information is outside the control of VISAThing™. VISAThing™ will not be liable for any visa application being refused or any additional costs arising from such a refusal (including travel costs) should situations of conflicting information between immigration officers arise.
VISAThing™ advises its Client/Service Recipient(s) on visa options and applies for visa applications on their behalf in good faith based on immigration information made available directly by immigration and embassy departments at the time of lodgement. If immigration laws and/or regulations have been updated by an immigration department but such updates have not been made known to the public at the time of visa lodgement, such conflicting information is outside the control of VISAThing™. VISAThing™ will not be liable for any visa application being refused or any additional costs arising from such a refusal (including travel costs) should situations of outdated information arise. The immigration authority/officer has the sole decision on the term of a visa that they grant. This term may be less than the term expected or requested by the client. Similarly, the immigration authority/ officer has the sole decision on the activation date that they place on a granted visa. This date may be before the date expected or requested by the client. VISAThing™ is not responsible for the term of any visa issued or the activation date placed on a visa by an immigration authority even. VISAThing™ has no authority or control to change this term/date.

Complaints Handling

If a Client has a dispute, query, or problem, he/she must contact VISAThing™ directly within 24 hours of the event. Should the client at any time feel that he/she is dissatisfied with our service, or feel in any way that VISAThing™ has not lived up to his expectations the Client may send a complaint to us in writing via mail or email. This will be passed immediately on to the management. VISAThing™ will handle the complaint in the shortest possible time.
