AUVisas received promptly Visas received promptly, easy process.Good communication. Used CIBT Australia to get Chilean visa. Cost a bit but worth every cent.

FRVery poor business travel visa support - Germany I'm a business traveller who seeked to use the support of CIBT to obtain a business visa for Thailand. While German citizens (which I am) can travel without Visa for vacation, for business trips it is required. Mid January I have started the application process. - The documents listed to be required were not complete right from the start - The documents submitted manually afterwards were not received, processed or taken care of in any regard - CIBT kept sending email to submit documents that have already been provided three times - Customer service employee hung up on me - Intervention with account management has preliminary helped, but again no response from CIBT on the process Dear Corporations, do not select this company as a service provider of choice unless you want to burden your internal resources and employees with hour long emails, calls and chats leading to nowhere. It is a business risk.

GBTotal Scam Don't even try with CIBT. Like the other complaints here, I had given my credit card info. for help in securing a Chinese visa via the Chicago Chinese Consulate. CIBT never contacted me. Called the two different 800 numbers numerous times over several days; consistently placed on hold, then referred to voice mail informing me that voice mail was full. After 11 days, I emailed "support" to cancel. Someone from NY called the next day to convince me to stay with them. I insisted to cancel, then he stated that I would be charged a "$200 cancelation fee" - which was never mentioned on their website. I protested, but they immediately withdrew $200 from my credit card. Of course, I then had to apply for a replacement credit card causing me more time. CIBT is a scam and waste of time. Finally got my visa quickly thru another Chicago based visa services company with no problems, at no charge until they received my information, and at less than half the cost of CIBT would have charged. CIBT appears to a total scam operation.

CASave yourself frustration and stay away from CIBT Giving one star is being generous. Their Cust Svc is non-existent. Response time can be weeks, if at all. Do it yourself or use another service provider.

GBHorrible Customer Support Customer support is almost non-existent! My visa application for China was in limbo for over a month! My email requests for support went unanswered. I had to call 5 different times to finally reach someone who could help figure out what was going on... Turns out, their online application portal was "not working properly", so I had to redo the application in PDF form. The total time, from my application and payment to receipt of my visa was almost 7 weeks!!! The turnaround time was advertised as 5-10 business days. For a service that cost over $900, this is completely unacceptable! Either find a different service or do it yourself.
