What our visa services include
A visa file is only as strong as its weakest document. A wrong spelling of a name, a date that does not match your passport or a missing stamp can delay your application or get it refused.
COT handles everything that needs to be translated and organised before your appointment, for Schengen countries such as Germany, Italy, France and Spain, and for the UK, the US and Canada. Many embassies in Cairo receive applications through visa centres such as VFS Global and TLScontact, and our certified translations are accepted by both.
What you receive
- Certified translation of civil, academic and financial documents
- Translation of HR letters, bank statements and commercial registers
- Names and dates checked against your passport
- A check of your translated file against the embassy checklist
- Soft copy by email or WhatsApp and stamped copies from our branches
