FAQ- General Visitor / Tourist Visa
While many countries use the term Tourist Visa, others, like the UK and Canada, commonly issue a Visitor Visa. Both essentially mean the same thing: a short-term visa for non-work purposes such as leisure travel, family visits, medical visits, or short business meetings.
At SWICS Pvt. Ltd., we carefully determine the correct visa category for each client so that your application is filed under the most suitable route. Er. JP Singh, with his deep knowledge of visa categories, ensures that you don’t fall into the trap of wrong application type—a common reason for refusals by inexperienced agents.
Visa officers assess whether you have sufficient and credible funds to support your trip. This means not just showing a large balance, but also proving the source and flow of funds (salary credits, business income, tax returns, investments). Sudden unexplained deposits often lead to suspicion.
At SWICS, we guide you in structuring your finances correctly. Er. JP Singh evaluates your financials and suggests the right documentation, while Advocate Trimaandeep Singh ensures that everything is legally consistent and compliant with embassy expectations.
Not always. Most embassies accept tentative or refundable bookings as proof of travel intent. Submitting fake or unverifiable bookings—something many unprofessional agents do—can lead to outright refusal or even blacklisting.
At SWICS, we only use authentic, refundable, and verifiable proofs. Our files are prepared in a way that convinces visa officers of your genuine plans without exposing you to unnecessary risks.
No. Visitor or Tourist visas are strictly for non-employment purposes. Attempting to work on such visas can result in bans or deportation.
This is why SWICS Pvt. Ltd. takes extra care in drafting your purpose of visit documents. Er. JP Singh ensures your travel plan matches your visa type, and Advocate Trimaandeep Singh reviews it for compliance, so there is no confusion or risk of misinterpretation.
Yes, but reapplying without addressing the actual refusal reasons will most likely lead to another rejection. Common refusal grounds include weak purpose, unclear financials, and lack of ties to India.
At SWICS, we perform a detailed Refusal-Risk Audit. Er. JP Singh analyses the rejection letter and rebuilds your case with stronger documentation. Then, Advocate Trimaandeep Singh ensures that the new file directly addresses past refusal issues in a professional and legally compliant way.
- For Schengen Europe, it is compulsory (minimum coverage €30,000 for medical and emergencies).
- For countries like Canada, UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, it is not always mandatory but is strongly recommended.
SWICS ensures that you select the correct insurance policy that meets embassy requirements. This small but crucial detail, often ignored by local agents, is checked carefully by our team to avoid rejection.
- Canada: Usually up to 6 months per entry
- UK: Standard Visitor Visa up to 6 months
- USA (B1/B2): Duration determined at port of entry (commonly 6 months)
- Australia (Subclass 600): 3, 6, or 12 months depending on profile
- New Zealand: Up to 9 months in an 18-month period
- Schengen Europe: 90 days within any 180-day period
At SWICS, we explain not just how long you can stay but also the compliance obligations. Er. JP Singh guides you on duration and extensions, while Advocate Trimaandeep Singh ensures you understand the legal implications of overstaying.
No. Sponsorship helps, but it does not guarantee approval. Visa officers look at your complete profile—your own financial capacity, your ties to India, your travel history, and your purpose.
SWICS ensures that if you have a sponsor, the documents are authentic, verifiable, and consistent. Er. JP Singh checks financial sponsorship proofs, and Advocate Trimaandeep Singh ensures legal documents (affidavits, sponsorship letters) are valid in embassy standards.
This is where we are different from ordinary agents. Your file is not handled by clerks or untrained staff.
- File Drafting & Documentation Strategy: Done personally by Er. JP Singh, who has deep expertise in visa rules and embassy expectations.
- Legal & Compliance Review: Done by Advocate Trimaandeep Singh, ensuring every affidavit, financial proof, or statement is consistent and compliant.
This two-level review system is unique to SWICS and is the reason why our clients trust us for higher success chances.
Yes. Unlike many unregistered or unethical agents who exploit applicants with false promises and inflated fees, SWICS Pvt. Ltd. is a Government-approved consultancy with fair and transparent charges. Every client receives a written invoice and clear breakdown of services.

Yes. Many first-time travelers worry about not having previous visas. While past travel helps, it is not mandatory. Instead, we focus on strengthening other factors such as financials, ties to India, and a well-structured travel plan.
