How we help

Biometrics appointment assistance

After the application is lodged, you give biometrics at a visa application centre. Appointments are booked through the centre, which sets its own availability.

  • Preparation supportThe application lodged correctly before you book.

Flyinbird doesn’t control appointment availability or visa decisions. Slots are released by the visa centre and can vary by season and location.

Speak to an expert

Before you apply

Avoid the
common mistakes.

Most application problems are avoidable. These are the ones we see most often — and how we help you steer clear of them.

  1. 01

    Incomplete documentation

    A single missing document can delay an application or raise questions about it.

    We check your file against your personalised checklist before you submit.

  2. 02

    Incorrect travel dates

    Dates that don’t line up across bookings, insurance and the form are easy to miss.

    We cross-check dates across every document.

  3. 03

    Information inconsistencies

    Names, addresses or employment details that differ from one document to the next.

    We review your details for consistency, line by line.

  4. 04

    Missing supporting evidence

    A form on its own doesn’t always explain your circumstances or purpose of travel.

    We help you identify evidence that supports your trip.

  5. 05

    Poorly prepared application

    A disorganised file is harder to assess, however strong the application behind it.

    We help you present everything clearly and in order.

Yes. We help you complete the application form accurately and check that the information in it matches your supporting documents.

We guide you through booking and help you prepare for the day. Appointment slots are released and managed by the visa application centre, so we can’t reserve or guarantee a particular date.

As early as the rules for your visa allow — especially for travel in peak season, when appointments are in higher demand. We’ll help you plan backwards from your departure date.

Decisions rest solely with the authorities, and a refusal letter normally sets out the reasons. We can help you understand it and talk through sensible next steps, such as reapplying with stronger supporting evidence.

You give fingerprints and a photograph at a visa application centre after the application has been lodged. It’s a short visit; we tell you exactly what to bring.

It depends on your nationality. Visa-exempt travellers flying to Canada need an eTA; others need a visitor visa. Tell us your passport and we’ll confirm which applies before you start.
