Special Delivery Consular Services

Visa and Passport applications

Submitting an application in the UK for any Visa can be very complicated, time consuming and a stressful process. Rules, timescales and detail, which will vary depending on the country you plan to visit, need to be followed precisely for each applicant. It is therefore essential that your application is completed with 100% accuracy and presented with all the correct supporting documents, in a timely manner.

The amount charged by an embassy for visa applications can be confusing. Embassies may change fees and sometimes forms without updating their web sites or information packs. An incorrectly presented application will result in your travel plans being delayed or even cancelled and may hold up the return of your passport.

Special Delivery Consular Services have many years experience and our hand delivered applications can mean results in hours. Our couriers will deal with any issues that may arise and our agent will report to you within minutes, enabling your application to be fast tracked for speedy collection and delivery to you at home, office, hotel or airport. No matter where you are located we can arrange the most cost effective and rapid solution for your visa or passport application.

If you intend to travel at short notice on business or pleasure then post or even recorded delivery cannot be a sensible option. Special Delivery, by an experienced courier, to and from the embassy will be essential.

Call our Visa Agents now and leave the rest to us. 08444 12 27 27

A client or colleague maybe waiting for a special order, a machine has failed, a presentation is in jeopardy or a tender must arrive, no matter what. One thing's for sure; we have experienced most scenarios during the last 30 years and have seen the need to develop a specialist service that goes the extra mile.

Our "On Board" Courier Department will arrange a specific collection time that suits you and have a courier on the road or in the air with your shipment just as soon as your goods are ready to leave. Your item will travel with a dedicated courier for hand delivery at the ultimate destination.

We'll keep you updated with progress and call you just as soon as the item has been delivered.

We can take care of all documentation, visa's and customs formalities while you continue running your business.

Our Green Policy

Green Couriers.

This is how we try to reduce our own carbon footprint and influence others to do the same

Back in 1994 we were very much aware of our ability to reduce pollution in London and we launched the first cycle courier service in the city. Our messengers and cyclists are about as green as you can get and we intend to keep it that way.

We no longer run any diesel or petrol company owned vehicles. We also offer financial incentives to our agents and couriers to change to environmentally friendly vehicles where alternatives exist.

Our drivers are trained in economic and energy saving motoring techniques

Promotional information is transmitted electronically and we have an outright ban on paper junk mail

Our offices print on paper that is recycled or from sustainable sources

We encourage all our clients and agents to communicate with us electronically. We promote electronic payment methods and will even collect cheques free of charge from clients who do not have internet banking facilities.

We recycle old computers, mobile phones, used office stationery and even used envelopes!

We recognise there are always areas for improvement. If you have any suggestions or think your company can join us in saving the planet please email

green@specialdelivery.co.uk
