The Merwyn Promise
We can't promise a visa. We promise a file that's complete, correct and ready.
If we can't book an appointment that fits your travel dates, your £49 start fee comes back in full, and you never pay the balance.
Cancel before we start work on your file and we refund your £49, no questions asked.
If the embassy refuses your visa because of a document error we should have caught, we refund our service fee and prepare your reapplication free.
The Merwyn Promise covers our service fee only. Embassy fees, visa-centre fees, insurance and travel bookings are paid to others, so we can't refund them. The visa decision always rests with the embassy or consulate. Read the full terms.
Merwyn is an independent advisory service, not affiliated with VFS Global, TLScontact or any embassy or consulate. The final decision always rests with the embassy or consulate.
Questions
Can't find your answer? Ask us in your free assessment.
No one can. The embassy or consulate makes every decision. We make sure your file is complete and correct, which removes the avoidable reasons for refusal.
For a Schengen visa you can usually apply up to six months before you travel and no later than 15 days before. Appointments in the UK can be hard to find in busy seasons, so the earlier you start, the better.
It depends on the country you're visiting and where you live. Most countries use VFS Global or TLScontact centres in cities such as London, Manchester and Edinburgh. We'll tell you exactly where yours is.
Yes. A Schengen visa covers all 29 countries. You apply to the country where you'll spend the most nights, or where you arrive first if the time is equal. We'll work out which one is right for your trip.
Yes. We also help with visas for the USA, Canada, Turkey, Cyprus, China, Japan, Egypt, Iraq and more. Each case is different, so we give you a personal quote.
No. Embassy and visa-centre fees are paid directly to them. Our prices cover our service only.
You start with just £49, and pay the rest of your package once your appointment is booked. We confirm your full price in writing before you pay anything, and you receive an invoice for every payment.
If we can't book an appointment that fits your dates, your £49 comes back. Cancel before we start work, and it comes back too. If a refusal is caused by a document error we should have caught, we refund our service fee and redo your application free. It covers our fee only, never the visa decision, which is always the embassy's.
No. Everything is handled online by WhatsApp and email. You only attend your own appointment at the visa centre.
Yes. Tell us in your free assessment and share your refusal letter, and we'll look at what went wrong before preparing your new application.
No. Merwyn is fully independent and is not affiliated with VFS Global, TLScontact or any embassy or consulate.
