IMPORTANT NOTICE - PASSPORT PAGES & VALIDITY:

You must have at least eight (8) blank unused pages available in your passport for visas and entry/exit stamps. In addition, your passport must be valid for twelve (12) months beyond the completion of your international travel. If you are a U.S. citizen and do not have the adequate number of pages or validity you will need to renew your passport since the U. S. Passport Agency will no longer add pages. Pinnacle Travel Document Systems can easily assist you with this at the same time your visas are being processed. The total additional fees for this service (including U.S. government expediting fee) is $264.00 for passport renewals and second passports. We can also assist you with expediting first time passport applications.

You will need to complete an application form and a letter of authorization for PTDS and must send your actual passport to us. Specific requirements and the necessary forms are available for download from our Internet site:

Passport Renewals First Time Passports

Second Passports WWW.Traveldocs.com/PTDSPassports

You must still provide all the necessary personal information in order for us to be able to provide this service. A hand written manual version of the visa application(s) must be completed and returned to us before you actually send in your passport and other required documents for visa processing.

Once we have received your completed manual visa application form(s) we will execute the online form on your behalf and return it to you within 2 working days. You will then need to sign this form and include it with your passport, photographs and other documents being sent to us for processing of your visa(s). Please note that this service is separate from the actual processing of your visa(s) and you must wait to receive and then sign the completed online version of the visa application form(s) from us before you physically ship your documents to us for visa processing. The fee for this service is $75.00 per application, per person payable via credit card at the time you send the manual version of the application(s) to us and is in addition to the visa processing fees quoted. If you would like to take advantage of this service please call us at 888-838-4867 or email us at [email protected] to request a manual version of the visa application form(s) be sent to you.
