They assisted me in preparing all my documents according to the required checklist, and Mr. Sherbir Singh personally guided me through every step of the submission process.

Why trust us with a Hungary file
Four things you can check before you trust us with a rupee.
Every visa consultant says they are experienced and reliable. Here is the version you can verify yourself in about a minute — which is the only version worth reading.
If your Hungary visa is refused, our fee comes back in full.
No deductions, no “processing charges”, refund initiated within 7 days to the account you paid from. We are that confident about the files we take on — and when we are not confident, we tell you before you spend anything.
The one part nobody can return is the government's money: the embassy fee goes to the mission and the visa-centre fee to VFS. Any consultant promising those back is not telling you the truth. Read the policy
A regulator sits above us
Licence 849/DC/PTA/PLA/LC-3/2024, issued by the District Magistrate, Patiala and valid to 22 July 2029. That is not a badge we designed — it is an authority you can complain to if we let you down. Most agents cannot give you a number to check.
Your file is read six times, by people, in order
Names and dates matched across every paper, each document checked for issuer and validity, the money traced to its source, the purpose checked for contradictions, ties documented rather than claimed, then one final read by someone trying to refuse it. That last pass is the one almost nobody does alone.
We tell people not to apply
The ₹499 report can come back as "no, not yet", and we are paid the same either way. A free assessment has every incentive to tell you yes. That single design choice is why our answer on your Hungary case is worth anything at all.

Before you spend the embassy fee
Now the part the page cannot tell you.
This page covers what the mission asks of everyone. What it cannot tell you is how YOUR case reads — your funds, your ties, your travel history, your reason for going. That is the part the officer actually decides on.

What it cannot do
Visa Possibility Report — ₹499
Refundable, and credited in full if you go ahead with filing. A licensed consultant reads your actual file and tells you what an officer would question.
See what's includedFiling it yourself? That is genuinely fine — most straightforward cases do not need anyone. If it comes back refused, bring us the letter. Reading the actual refusal ground is how a case gets recovered, and it is the work we do most. How refusal recovery works
