Visa kits

Templates and checklists for the hard visas. R250 each, delivered instantly, with free updates for 12 months.

The free guides tell you what to do. The kits give you the documents to do it: checklists to tick, templates to fill in, and a plan for the bad day. They’re for people who want to get it right the first time.

Planning your first trip? You probably don’t need a kit. Kits are only for visas you must get before you fly. For visa-free and e-Visa trips, the first-trip guide is free and covers everything.

What every kit includes

  • A guide to read on screen or print, with a contents page and numbered pages
  • Checklists and prep sheets you can tick and fill in on screen, or print
  • Editable Word files for every letter template
  • Every [square bracket] marked, so you know exactly what to fill in
  • The official links behind each step, and the date the kit was last checked

Each kit follows its own visa process, so the contents differ: a US visa is decided at an interview, a UK visa starts with an online form, and Morocco starts with checking whether you can use its e-Visa. The list on each kit above shows exactly what you get.

Before you buy

What you getA digital download: the guide and checklists as PDFs, and the letter templates as Word files. Nothing is posted to you.
PriceR250. The checkout shows the final price, including any tax, before you pay.
PaymentThrough our shop provider’s secure checkout. We never see your card details.
DeliveryA download link straight after payment, also emailed to you with your receipt.
UpdatesWhen the official rules change, we update the kit, and each kit shows the date it was last checked. Bought it in the last 12 months? Email us and we’ll send you the latest version free.
RefundsThe download is instant and yours to keep, so there are no change-of-mind refunds. If a file is faulty or the kit isn’t as described, we fix it or refund you in full. Refund policy
What it isn’tA thorough guide to what to put together, not visa advice. We don’t review your documents, fill in forms, book appointments or submit your application, and we can’t promise a visa: applying is your own process, and only the embassy decides.
