We determine which entry route applies to you, prepare the file in your language, and walk you through submission. The visa fee itself is paid by you to the consulate — never to us.

Assessment of which entry route applies to your nationality and purpose · A document list specific to your case, in your language · Review of every document before submission, with corrections marked · Invitation letter and itinerary drafting where the route requires one · Accompanied submission at the visa centre (tiers 2 and 3) · Status tracking until a decision is issued
BOUNDARIES
Important: Companion provides non-medical health management consulting. We do not diagnose, treat or prescribe. Any consultation, acupuncture or treatment takes place inside a licensed medical institution, delivered by licensed practitioners.
Which route you take depends on your nationality, your purpose of stay and how long you have. We work out which one applies, prepare the documents, and — if you want — go with you to submit them.
We do not sell visa approval and we cannot influence an outcome. What we do is remove the two failure modes we see most: the wrong route chosen at the start, and a file submitted with a document missing or inconsistent.
Visa-free entry, visa-on-arrival and entry for medical purposes are three different things, the lists change, and a medical purpose is not covered by every visa-free arrangement. We check your case against the current rules before we quote anything.
