What people say

Very pleased!

We used the premier service due to our need for a fast turnaround. Gem was very easy to work with, professional, and took the time to make sure all our questions were answered and to keep us abreast of progress from start to finish. We were very fortunate to have his support and highly appreciate his attention to detail.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! So glad Gem provided excellent premier service and kept you updated throughout.

Shocking hidden charges

Appalling that I was charged before I even started submitting the visa and it wasn't until 8 days later, when I received the final invoice detailing what had been taken from my account, that I saw I have been charged twice what the website stated. The total invoice was almost £500 for a service that was little different from what I would have got for £20 if I had gone direct. Absolutely no excuse for these hidden charges

Reply from CIBT2026-04-03

We regret any inconvenience with the hidden charges. Please provide your order number and a manager will reach out to resolve your issue.

CIBT is EXCELLENT SERVICE

I have used CIBT several times in the past decade and they are always exemplary. My recent interaction with CIBT agent Gem was fantastic - the best ever. They are professional, efficient, helpful, timely and kind. I so appreciate their guidance and assistance because often you are performing these services not for oneself but for an executive. Thank you CIBT for providing excellent service all around - from the agent to the office in NYC - great job.

CIBT was easy to deal with and when I was stumped by certain requirements, they responded promptly. Quick support and quick turnaround with my visa. The only downside was that the service seemed pricey...I was surprised, but paid.

Reply from CIBT2026-03-27

Thanks for your feedback! Happy we provided quick support and turnaround. We understand pricing concerns and appreciate your business.

Excellent Customer Service!

Gina, CIBT representative, provided excellent customer service while guiding me through the expediated passport renewal process. Gina's clear and prompt communication ensured no steps were missed that could have caused potential delays. Thank you Gina and CIBT for your services!

You are welcome! Thanks for trusting CIBT with your visa processing needs.

I applied for a Canadian ETA through…

I applied for a Canadian ETA through this agency and received horrible service. It took 9 days (!!!) during which they were not able to provide any feedback on why it's taking so long. After losing all hope to get support from this agency I just applied myself 2 days before my flight and got my ETA approved within a couple of hours. EXTREMELY incompetent

Reply from CIBT2026-03-27

Apologies for any inconvenience with your ETA processing delays. We understand your frustration with the 9-day wait. Please provide your order number so we can provide a resolution.

Poor communication & execution - Missed International Travel

Poor communication and execution, extremely frustrating to work through this visa process. Did not give anything close to premium service, which we purchased. Alina, our rep, was hard to reach and didn't view or reply to emails in a timely manner - to the point that I had to continue to reach out by phone to ask them to read and follow up on my emails. There is no weekend help line for emergency assistance. Do not recommend. Passport was returned late and flight was missed! We were notified of the shipping date and tracking number for an overnight package; it was never shipped on the date stated. We were issued a new tracking number and ship date three days later which meant the international flight was missed. This flight being the whole reason why we utilized this service in the first place.

Adrienne, plase provide your order number so I can have a manager reach out to you for a resolution.

Customer service is poor

Customer service is poor, they submitted first time without my wife’s photograph due to negligence, application was rejected have to pay twice because of CIBT Mistake to get UK ETA. I don’t recommend this company

Reply from CIBT2026-03-17

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by our mistake with your wife's photograph. We understand your frustration about paying twice. Please call provide your order number so we can resolve this.

Online experience not brilliant

Online experience not brilliant, followed all the prompts and paid the fees on 15/1/2026. Heard nothing so chased on 6/3/2026 to find that my information had been dumped and I had to complete the process again. Direct contact with the visa teams was excellent and the visa’s were back to me by 15/3/2026, very professional and helpful staff.

Reply from CIBT2026-03-17

We apologize for any inconvenience with the online experience. Happy our visa team provided excellent service and got your visas sorted quickly!

Great support provided by Ismael who…

Great support provided by Ismael who was always accessible and able to address whatever questions I had. The China visa process was more involved than I expected, and it was great to have the support of Ismael and the CIBT team to make sure it was complete. My visa even arrived early which was such a relief!

Reply from CIBT2026-03-17

We are absolutely thrilled to hear Ismael provided great support! So glad your China visa arrived early and the team helped throughout the process.

Miss Karina Narvaez was Amazing!!

Miss Karina Narvaez was amazing!!! She assisted me every step of the way during the process. This was my first time securing a Visa for travel and she made the process very simple and easy. Though there were some challenges on my end that had to be resolved, Miss Narvaez was very patient with me. I highly recommend CIBT Visas if you require a visa for the purpose of travelling for business or pleasure. Their service is well worth the cost to eliminate and avoid any mistakes and stress.

Reply from CIBT2026-03-17

We are delighted to hear Karina made your first visa process simple! Thanks for recommending CIBT.

My service consultant (Mei Miller) was Outstanding

My service consultant (Mei Miller) was absolutely fantastic. I had a unique situation where I applied for my Chinese Visa with an Embassy outside the US. I could not cancel it so that I could move forward with the US embassy and Mei stepped in and solved this problem hands on and got my visa issue 2 weeks prior to my trip. She was professional, patient to listen and developed a game plan to get this done. She was very responsive and stayed positive during the process which allowed me to stay calm. I truly appreciate her effort in this.....

Reply from CIBT2026-03-13

We are grateful for your kind words about Mei's exceptional support with your Chinese Visa application!

Process was straightforward

Process was straightforward, passport arrived quickly, employer paid the fee. Had to fill out the same info on 6 pages, would love if that could’ve been prefilled, but maybe not an option through my employer. Received communication the whole way, but did get an email telling me it was on the way, after I received it (a little funny).

Reply from CIBT2026-03-13

We are glad to hear the process was straightforward and your passport arrived quickly!

Most trusted and reliable

I have been using CIBT mostly for visas for the travelers I support at my company. I have used them for many, many years and never had any issues. All deadlines were met. The process is as easy as can be and the support / response time whether virtual or over the phone is exemplary. Many assistants in my company use CIBT as well and would describe them as the most reliable expediter. I have also used CIBT for passports and the experience was flawless.

Reply from CIBT2026-03-13

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! Your trust over many years means everything to us.

Have been using them for many years…

Have been using them for many years now. They can be quite expensive for certain visas, but they do the work and details are on file for next time so you don't have to keep filling out forms online. E-Visas for business are very quick otherwise they can be up to two weeks if there are no complications.

Reply from CIBT2026-03-13

We appreciate the feedback. Thank you for your loyalty over the years.

Incredibly poor service for Viet visa so beware

Incredibly poor service for a business that charges 3x what the actual visa cost. My visa came the night of my flight out (over 3 weeks from my submission with CIBT) . I ended up having to pay another $300 and process two brand new applications and get the fast tracked expedited service for them to be processed in 4 hours. I am so incredibly disappointed. I was given the website from FCM who I use for work and will definitely be passing this feedback onto them. Not good enough and never again will I use this service.

Reply from CIBT2026-03-04

We regret you had that experience. Please provide your order number so I can have a manager contact you for resolution.

My Visa Consultant

My Visa Consultant, Mei Miller, made my experience GREAT!! She was extremely helpful, courteous, thorough, provided clear and detailed instructions, professional, patient with all my questions and always promptly replied. She should be the roll model for all other consultants to follow.

Reply from CIBT2026-03-04

Thank you for your review, Patty. So happy Mei provided excellent service. She certainly is a role model!
