Most countries require 6 months validity beyond the return date (Schengen, UK, US, AU, CA, Japan, Korea). Some require 6 months 'beyond entry date' (e.g. China, India). Ensure at least 2 blank pages for the visa sticker + entry stamp.

Both: Bank Statement (6-month transaction history) proves account 'activity'. Bank Letter/Certification (1-page bank document) confirms 'current balance' + 'account-open date'. Most consulates require both — must be issued in English.

Service fees start at THB 3,500 for Schengen tourist visas and THB 6,500–35,000 for work/permanent visas, depending on country and visa type. Embassy fees, translation and courier charges are billed separately. Free quote: +66 80-557-8887 or LINE @iVisa.

Document prep and lodgement take 3–7 business days. Embassy decision timelines vary: Schengen 7–15 days, USA 1–4 weeks (incl. interview), Australia/Canada 2–8 weeks, UK 15 business days (Standard). Premium and priority routes are faster where available.

No agency can legally guarantee approval — discretion lies with the consulate. However, iVC averages a 99.8% approval rate (iVC internal data, self-reported) across 30,000+ cases in 15 years, and provides a free appeal/refiling if refusal is caused by our team's error.
