  Yes, travel agents definitely help with e-visas! While many people think e-visas are strictly "DIY" because they are online, thousands of travelers still prefer using an agent or a specialized service like ours at azerbaijan-evisa.info . Here is how an agent actually makes the process easier for you: 1. No More "Format Errors" The biggest headache with e-visas is often the technical side. Most government portals are very picky—your passport scan has to be a specific size (KB), your photo needs a certain background, and the file format must be exact. If it’s not perfect, the system might reject it or, worse, you could be denied at the border for a blurry upload. Agents handle all the resizing and formatting for you. 2. Expert Document Review A simple typo—like swapping a "0" for an "O" in your passport number—can lead to an automatic rejection. Unlike a government website that just takes your data "as is," an agent reviews your application first. We catch those small mistakes before they ever reach the immigration department. 3. Handling the Payment "Glitch" International credit cards don't always play nice with foreign government payment gateways. We've seen many travelers get stuck at the very last step because their bank blocked the transaction. Agents use secure, reliable payment systems to ensure the fee actually goes through and your application is submitted. 4. Speed & Urgency If you are traveling at the last minute, you don't want to be refreshing a browser window hoping for an update. Agents often have "Urgent" or "Fast-Track" options. For Azerbaijan, for example, we can often get an e-visa processed in just 3 hours when you're in a rush. 5. 24/7 Support If your visa is delayed or you lose the email with the PDF, you can't exactly "call" the government portal for help. Having an agent means you have a real person to talk to who can track the status or re-send your documents whenever you need them. The Bottom Line: You can do it yourself, but if you aren't tech-savvy, hate paperwork, or just want the peace of mind that it’s being done correctly by experts, using a service is a smart move. If you're planning a trip to Azerbaijan, feel free to reach out to us at azerbaijan-evisa.info—we’ll take the paperwork off your plate so you can focus on your trip!

  Posted in the topic How much does an agent charge for a tourist visa? in the forum News and Announcements

  Getting a straight answer on visa fees can be a bit of a headache because most "agents" or third-party sites don't like to show their service fees until you’ve already typed in all your personal info. If you're looking at https://zimbabwe-visa.com/" > zimbabwe-visa.com , they are a private agency, not the government. Based on how these services usually work, here is the breakdown of what you'll likely be paying: 1. The Official Government Fees (The "Must-Pay" Part) Regardless of who helps you, the Zimbabwe government charges fixed rates. For most Western travelers (US, UK, EU, etc.), these are: Single Entry (30 days): $30 USD Double Entry (90 days): $45 USD KAZA Univisa (Zimbabwe & Zambia): $50 USD 2. The Agent/Service Fee (The "Extra" Part) This is where the agent makes their money. While their site mentions a "processing fee," they aren't always upfront about the exact dollar amount until the final checkout page. Typically, agencies like this charge anywhere from $40 to $80 USD on top of the government fee. So, if you use an agent, expect your total bill to be roughly $70 to $110 USD for a standard single-entry visa. Is it worth it? Honestly, it depends on how much you hate paperwork. Use the Agent if: You want someone to double-check your documents, you're worried about making a mistake on the form, or you just want a more "polished" customer service experience. Skip the Agent if: You want to save money. Most people can just go to the official government eVisa site (evisa.gov.zw) or even just pay cash on arrival at the airport in Harare or Victoria Falls. Paying at the airport is usually the cheapest and easiest way if your nationality allows it (Category B). Quick Tip: If you do use an agent, just make sure you aren't paying more than $120 total. Anything higher than that is definitely an overcharge! This post was edited by Lewis fith at December 18, 2025 12:18 AM PST
