Frequently Asked Questions
Can parents visit their children studying in Canada or Australia?
Yes, parents can apply for a standard Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa / Subclass 600) or a Canada Super Visa (for parents/grandparents of Canadian PRs or citizens, allowing stays up to 5 years per visit) by presenting the host's invitation, legal status, and financial proofs.
What is the primary reason visitor visas get rejected?
The most common refusal grounds are insufficient ties to the home country and unverified source of funds. AKME focuses on assembling clear documentation of ongoing business, employment, tax returns, and family responsibilities in India.
How much bank balance is required for a tourist or family visitor visa?
While embassies do not specify a fixed minimum balance, applicants generally need liquid savings sufficient to cover return airfare, accommodation, insurance, and daily expenses (typically ₹4 Lakhs to ₹7 Lakhs+ per applicant) with a clean 6-month banking history and no sudden unexplained lump-sum deposits.
Is an invitation letter mandatory for a tourist visa?
No. If you are applying purely for tourism and sightseeing, an invitation letter is not required—you instead submit a detailed day-by-day travel itinerary and hotel bookings. An invitation letter is required only when visiting family, friends, or attending a graduation ceremony.
Can I work or study while on a Visitor / Tourist Visa?
No. Visitor and tourist visas strictly prohibit engaging in paid employment or enrolling in long-term academic degree programs in the destination country.
How long does visitor visa processing take for Canada, Australia, the UK, and Schengen?
Processing times vary by season and embassy workload: UK Standard Visitor and Schengen visas typically take 2 to 4 weeks after biometrics, Australia Subclass 600 takes 2 to 5 weeks, Canada TRV varies from 3 to 8 weeks, and US B1/B2 depends on consular interview appointment availability.
