Recently I had the need to acquire 3 particularly challenging African visas with a tight timeline. A timeline that would only accelerate after providing my documents to Ghofran at CIBT in New York. Firstly, the process of sending my passport anywhere is nerve-racking. In this case, I sent two passports to CIBT for the overlapping visa processes for Mali, Algeria, and Ghana. This was all happening with UN General Assembly was ongoing in September 2025 - one of the busiest periods for all consulates and embassies in the United States. From the minute my documents were received and my direct engagement with CIBT and Ghofran began, every option, every point of flexibility or cost variation, every risk, was communicated clearly, in a timely fashion, and with a smile. I felt like I was part of a team, and CIBT really wanted me to get things right to minimize expense and risk. There was never an upsell at any point in time. I am in the process of visiting every country on earth, now at 156 of 193 UN countries. Soon, thanks to CIBT and Ghofran in particular, I am that much closer to visiting some amazing places in my conquest. There is no question who I want to work with going forward. I have worked with other providers, as well as direct to embassy applications over the years, and never have I had such a smooth process and strong value for money. This is a service. It costs money, yes, but getting things wrong can have a lasting impact on your ability to ever visit a country if you don't do it right. Don't take the chance, go with the best. And please see to it that Ghofran is on your executive track - one of the finest in this business. 5 stars all day, all night long!

My personal advisor was Arian Rahimi who I found to be very knowledgeable and efficient. His instructions and necessary forms needed were spot on. The team was very helpful in answering all the questions I had and addressing any concerns. Further, once all the documents were submitted, Arian and team worked very efficiently in expediting the approval through the consulate in a timely manner.

CIBT kept in touch, during a last minute visa application. I had no idea how long the approval would take when I applied. They got it done in time. I use CIBT Visas for all our clients complicated travel, when multiple visas a required, whether for cruises, or land itineraries. Nice to have all information in one place.

This company is thoroughly professional in its approach. I inadvertently applied for the wrong type of visa and refunded me immediately.Their customer service was amazing . They hold your hand the whole way and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I received clear instructions on the visa application process and the documents I needed to provide. I have been guided through the process and received regular updates with clear next steps.

I've used CIBT visa for close to 13 years with large time gaps between uses. But in this last year I've used them for two visas. I cannot say enough about Christine. She did an exceptional job walking us through the process and dealing with endless emails from 3 or 4 of us. Honestly worth every penny and as I have done previously I will use CIBT again! Highly recommended!

Your turn around time, especially with enquiries as we faced challenges. The ongoing follow up with relevant consulate after failure to receive a visa, not once but twice, was excellent.

Smooth process from end to end. Timely response on every query raised and Schengen visa received within a week.
