Visa document support
Visa document translation package
Visa applications rarely need just one translated document — they need a consistent, correctly formatted set: employment letters, bank statements, invitation letters, civil documents, and more, all certified the same way. We put that package together, certify it with our bureau seal, and tell you honestly that no translation bureau can guarantee a visa decision.
What's typically included in the package
Most non-EU visa applications ask for some combination of: employment letters and income statements, bank statements or proof of funds, invitation or sponsorship letters, civil status documents (birth, marriage certificates), and sometimes educational records or property documents. Rather than translating each file in isolation, we prepare the whole set together.
That matters more than it sounds: consulates notice when the same term — a job title, an address, a name — is translated differently across documents in one application. We keep terminology and formatting consistent across your entire package, which is one of the most common, avoidable reasons a dossier gets flagged for clarification.
Which visas this typically supports
This package is built for non-EU visa applications where the destination country's consulate or visa centre asks for translated supporting documents — common examples include long-stay, work, family, or business visas for countries outside the EU/Schengen area. Exact document lists and formatting rules vary significantly by country and even by consulate, and they change over time.
Tell us the destination country and visa type when you submit your documents; we'll flag anything in your list that commonly needs special handling — such as a sworn translation instead of a bureau seal — before we quote.
Send your visa document list for review
Tell us the destination country, visa type, and document list — we'll confirm certification requirements and a fixed quote for the whole package, usually within 5–7 minutes.
Send files nowBureau seal certification for visa dossiers
Our default certification is the PRAVIS bureau seal: a signed statement of accuracy, a reference number, and our seal on each translated document. Many consulates and visa centres accept this format for supporting documents. Some destinations or specific document types — depending on the country's own rules — require a sworn translation from a tłumacz przysięgły instead.
We check this against known requirements for your destination during review and tell you clearly which certification level applies to your package before you order, rather than after.
What we can't promise, and why that matters
We are direct about this because it matters: PRAVIS cannot guarantee that a consulate or immigration authority will accept your documents or approve your visa. Visa decisions depend on many factors entirely outside translation — your application's overall merits, consulate discretion, current policy, and requirements that can change without notice.
What we can guarantee is an accurate, professionally certified translation of the documents you provide, prepared consistently as a package, delivered on the timeline we confirm. If a supporting document is rejected for reasons unrelated to translation quality or certification format, that's a matter for the consulate, not something translation can resolve.
Process and turnaround
Send us the full list of documents you need translated for your application, along with the destination country and visa type. We review everything together, confirm which certification level each document needs, and quote the full package as one job — typically within 5–7 minutes.
Once approved, we translate and certify each document, keeping terminology and formatting consistent across the set, and deliver the complete package as digital PDFs. A printed, courier-delivered set is available if your consulate requires physical documents.
Confidentiality for sensitive application materials
Visa document packages often include income, banking, and family information. We handle every file confidentially, limiting access to the translator and reviewer assigned to your package, and we don't share your documents with any third party beyond what's needed to complete the translation.
If your application has a deadline, mention it when you submit your documents — we'll confirm whether our standard or a faster turnaround is realistic before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Will this guarantee my visa is approved?
No, and we wouldn't trust a bureau that claimed otherwise. Visa decisions are made entirely by the consulate or immigration authority based on many factors beyond translation. We provide accurate, properly certified translations — the decision itself is theirs.
Bureau seal or sworn translator — which does my consulate need?
It depends on the destination country and sometimes the specific consulate; requirements vary and change. Many accept a bureau-sealed certified translation for supporting documents, but some require a sworn translation by a tłumacz przysięgły. Tell us your destination and visa type, and we'll check this during review before quoting.
Can you translate my whole document list as one package?
Yes — that's the point of this service. We keep terminology and formatting consistent across every document in your application, which avoids one of the most common reasons consulates ask for clarification.
What documents are usually included?
It varies by visa type and country, but common items are employment or income letters, bank statements, invitation or sponsorship letters, civil status certificates, and sometimes educational or property records. Send us your specific list and we'll confirm what's needed.
How long does the full package take?
We typically confirm a quote within 5–7 minutes of reviewing your full document list. Actual translation time depends on the number and length of documents; tell us your deadline and we'll confirm whether it's realistic.
Do you offer immigration or visa consulting?
No. We translate and certify documents; we don't advise on visa strategy, eligibility, or application requirements beyond the translation and certification format itself. For those questions, we recommend consulting the relevant consulate or an immigration professional.
