Buyer Beware
I'd like to modify my review. Here is the original post: Absolute SCAM. They charge $119 for a $10 service. Go directly to the government website. It takes the same amount of time My new post: I placed an order for an Indian e-Visa with GVC but then realized they are a Travel Agency and not the Indian Embassy. I tried canceling the service but the guy on the support line was not helpful and instead asked me to send an email. I sent the email and also made this post. GVC responded to both. (courteous email received within 2hrs and review response is still visible). They cancelled my request AND refunded my money. (I had disputed the charge as well but now there was no need). Observations: 1. I feel this is a Legit Travel Agency the helps process visas AND pays for Google Ad words to appear at the top of the search results 2. I am confident I would have received my e-visa had I just let the process go through (I can't verify this of course) 3. I was hasty and just choose the first link Google provided and didn't pick up on the warning signs (CC payment was blocked, support line was in Hong Kong for an Indian Visa) - things, in retrospect, were clear indications that I was in the wrong place. 4. I am VERY appreciative that they refunded my money (hence this review revision) Comparison between Indian Embassy and GVC 1. The India Embassy charges $10 for an e-Visa and GVC charges $119. 2. The Indian Embassy outsources visa processing to an Indian company with very limited support (first 15 min free then there is a charge). GVC has customer support standing by (although the 2nd guy was not helpful and could have been more courteous) 3. The Indian e-Visa form is very detailed (father's place of birth detailed) while GVCs is extremely simple (which is actually a concern but another issue) Bottom Line: I recommend going through the Indian Embassy based on cost BUT if you want service I think GVC might work. Just make the decision consciously instead of just clicking the first link. Buyer Beware
