Refund Policy
Last updated: 20 May 2026
What you can claim back, when, and how.
We aim for transparent, fair refunds. This policy applies to service fees paid to Gateway Tours.
1. Before document submission
If you cancel before we submit your application to the consulate, you are entitled to a full refund of our service fee, less a 5% processing charge.
2. After document submission
Once documents are lodged, the service fee is non-refundable because the work has been performed. Embassy / consular fees are non-refundable in all cases (set by the foreign authority).
3. Refusal
If your visa is refused, we offer a free re-application service within 60 days of the refusal letter. We do not offer a cash refund for refusals.
4. Service failure
If we materially fail to deliver our service (e.g. miss a documented deadline) we issue a full refund within 7 business days.
5. How to claim
Email refunds@gatewaytours.example with your application reference. Approved refunds are credited to the original payment method within 7–14 business days.
