process, getting your visa to you in as little as 1-3

processing, by letting the expeditors walk your visa
through the application process for you. This helps to
ensure you will get your visa in a secure and timely

How to get a visa through a foreign government:
To get a visa yourself, you must work directly with the
consulate or the embassy of the country you wish to visit.
Once you find the contact information for the country
you would like to visit, he or she can get you a visa,
if needed. Each country has its own policies for
providing visas. So when getting a visa, make sure to
look closely at each specific country you are visiting,
because not all rules apply to each country.
