Wrong Application Information.

My appologies to aviva staff for previous review I blamed you guys for something which isnt your fault. It was the mistake from vfs global who provided me with wrong information. Thanks to Suzan and Henschel at Aviva visa helped me get another appointment with vfs without any further charges. Also mentioning help from Hafisa and Madeleine thank you guys. I would definitly recommend their service as per my experience.

Wish I had seen the reviews before...

Wish I had seen the reviews before...
With this long story I want to explain how these people work:

Please DO NEVER, EVER USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Very quick to charge you money. After I have paid exactly the requested amount (including £30 for express application), they sent me another payment request over £40, blaming me for not paying the full amount. I called them and I just got a blabla answer. Because I needed the visa urgently, I paid. They sent me the a list of necessary documents. I got everything together and sent it off. A few days later I received a call and a woman called Nafisa (the company is based in London, but I have never spoken to an English person - all staff is Asian... I wonder why...) requested lots of additional paperwork. When I complained, she said the embassy has requested these documents (haha). So I sent everything again (big struggle for me and extra costs).
Again a few days later, I was asked to provide more paperwork. I said I couldn't do that and and I want the contact number of the embassy so I can speak to the people there directly. Never got an answer. Also mentioned again, that I need the visa on the requested date.
I heard from somebody (never spoken to Nafisa again from then on) again after a couple of days, telling me that we can't get the visa on time. So I had to cancel my ticket and my friend had to send a new invitation letter plus change the tickets for things we have planned (extra costs and waste of time).
I have repeatedly requested a Schengen Visa valid for at least 3 years (like I had before) or even 5 years.
Got an email, stating that the visa is ready for collection or I should send the £11 postage money. Called and complained as I have already sent a pre-paid envelope with the documents.
In the afternoon of the next day I have received my visa (took them about 12 days to get it for me, so the express fee has gone straight into their pocket!!!). My departure time on the day would have been 7:00h am!
And guess what, even though I have mentioned it at least ten times:
I have received a visa, valid for 12 months only!

Requested a partial refund - never got an answer...

Schengen Visa Application

I contacted Avivavisa about applying for a schengen visa, after discussing everything they asked me to pay an 'extra' fee to get the visa faster. I made the payment on a weekend and called less than 1 hour later and asked to have the money refunded as I wanted to postpone travel plans. The person on the phone said to call Monday and they can sort out for me. When I requested the refund after several days I received a partial refund with 40 pounds deducted.

When i contacted them to clarify why they charged me 40 pounds they said those were "bank charges", when i asked what charges amounted to 40 on a bank wire, they said it was for the "appointment" which I DID NOT RECEIVE YET.

I would not use them again and would highly advise to take your money elsewhere or apply directly to the embassies yourselves as it will be less hassle and much more straight forward.

Avoid if possible...cancelled…

Avoid if possible...cancelled application back in May, told we will only receive refund for application fee. It has now been over a month now & still no refund!! Nobody seems to have an explanation into what's going in apart from the will contact the accounts department. They are quick to take your money bit in no hurry to refund you back!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They ever gave all my trips in and I ended up paying more for extra visa's. They did not even offer to give money back and blamed the embassy.

I was a bit sceptical when I started the process of applying for a visa with Aviva Visa, but I'm so happy to be writing this review having already travelled to my destination. Aafaq and the rest of the staff at Aviva Visa, I believe gave me their best service. I highly recommend them.
