Communications were excellent and the whole service we received was professional and very efficient. Would certainly use them again.”

“I had a truly amazing experience with this consulate .I had not only made a few mistakes but my original application had expired The lady helped me complete the form. I was allowed to work through the dinner break. She was a wealth of information and expedited the whole process. If only some of our own institutions were half as efficient...Great introduction to Russia... Really looking forward to my trip...Thanks so much..”

“Entrance to the UKVCAS centre is side of the building not through the St James Tower main entrance. There are plenty of parking spaces surrounding area. People are advised not go there early; they don’t have much waiting space inside. Only applicants are allowed to go inside. My wife had an appointment at 3:30 PM. We reached there 5 minutes before the appointment and receptionist let my wife in. It took 30 minutes to complete the process.”

“I cannot praise Jason high enough . This is the second time that I have used China Visa Services and on both occasions with his help the whole process was extremely smooth and trouble free”

“It was really a good experience to adopt their services. I am completely satisfied with their services....”

“They gave detailed advice along with getting the visa appointment and after they helped with handling my required documents for the appointment.”

“Friendly and efficient service. I dropped my passport and forms here on Wednesday and collected the visa on Monday. The office is conveniently located close to the St Peter's Square tram station.”

“Umar was my glimmer of hope for me and my family, at a time where I thought I lost it all. Having made a major mistake in my application and positioning my status with Home Office on the line, I found Intime Immigration Solicitor's. Umar was very approachable, he not only assured me that everything would be fine, he took my case, Umar gave me the confidence that he knew and understood my position. After having a positive result, which gave me peace of mind, I couldn’t let me go and asked that he worked on my Citizenship application. Needless to say we got another positive result! My family and I are eternally grateful for how Umar handled our case and I hereby recommend his services without reservations.”

“Straightforward process at the Manchester centre and was in and out in 30 mins, let me explain the visa journey for those visiting or applying for the first time. You book your flight tickets and accommodation before applying for your visa, they need to know your travel details in advance to grant you a visa. You apply online which is the tricky part, you need to have information regarding your trip, passport, work history and family history. Once the online application is accepted (usually 24-48 hours). You then have to visit the centre in either Manchester or London (no appointment needed) with the confirmation print out of visa application complete, you hand over your passport and finger prints are taken as part of the application. You then have to wait another 2-3 days for visa to be ready. You can collect or have it posted out to you. I would strongly advise to apply 2-3 weeks before you travel, to allow for any complications. If you've visited Turkey in the last 12 months this may delay the outcome of your visa. Please factor this in or research online beforehand.”

“I had an excellent experience at VFS Manchester. I’d like to highlight the outstanding service provided by Prathesh Paulraj, who handled my application. From the beginning, he was polite and welcoming, and he took a moment to apologise for the wait, which I really appreciated. He was highly efficient, professional, and ensured the process was smooth throughout. His courteous manner and attention to detail truly stood out. I was very pleased with the overall experience — exceptional service!”

“What an amazing experience. Raj was brilliant, he filled in all the forms for us. Took a lot of the stress off us. Visas returned to us within 4 days. Cannot recommend Raj more highly. Many thanks.”

“Great and friendly service. He's very informative about visa travel and it didn't take too long to receive the visa. Definitely would recommend him”

“I had a great experience with Anam during my Belgium visa process. She was very kind, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout. Anam explained everything clearly and patiently, which made the whole process stress-free and easy to understand. She was always supportive and approachable, and I truly felt guided at every step. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“I had an incredible experience working with my study consultant. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable in helping me navigate the complex world of higher education. They took the time to understand my goals and tailored their advice to suit my individual needs. Their support and encouragement motivated me to achieve academic success and boosted my confidence throughout the process. Thanks to my study consultant, I feel well-prepared and excited for the next chapter of my educational journey.”

“I had a great experience at the Manchester Consulate. The staff, including the manager, were very friendly and helpful. They were neither bossy nor rude and efficiently handled four NICOP applications within an hour. There is plenty of parking available on Conyngham Road, with three hours free, as well as a few spaces near the consulate on Dickenson Road (though I’m not sure about the parking timings there). At the time of writing this review, next-day bookings at the Manchester Consulate are offered at 7:00 PM every evening, Sunday through Thursday. I found plenty of available slots when I made my booking. There weren’t many people at the consulate on our appointment day, possibly because it was a Friday. I did notice a couple of people without appointments being served, but you need to have a thick skin in those situations, as the staff can be quite strict or blunt. Overall, I found the entire team pleasant and willing to help.”

“This is a very busy office currently due to the suspension of the eVisa. Consequently they were running late on appointments but the two people dealing with applications were friendly, polite and and still managing to smile. Thank you.”
