Lifeset Business Help Desk

Your books are complicated.Your visa file should not be.

Self-employed applicants get refused more often than salaried ones — not because the business is weak, but because nobody explained it to the officer in the form they expect. That explanation is the job.

Salaried people hand over one salary slip. You hand over ITRs, GST returns, a current account and a partnership deed — and hope the officer reads it the way you meant it.

Every claim below is checkable — tap any of them

What you actually get

Not more advice. Less work.

Your finances, translated

ITRs, GST returns, current-account statements and the deed presented as one coherent story an officer can follow in two minutes.

One officer who learns your business

Elite-desk clients get a dedicated visa filing officer. They learn how your money actually moves once, so every future application is faster.

You stay in your business

No afternoon lost to a portal that times out. Send the documents, approve the draft, keep working.

Filed around your season

Trade fair dates, buyer meetings and the financial year all move the right filing window. We plan backwards from your date, not forwards from today.

The real cost

Filing it yourself is not free.It is just paid in your hours.

On your own

  • Reading which documents your case needs
  • Filling forms that time out and lose your answers
  • Drafting your own letters and getting them signed
  • Refreshing the portal for an appointment slot
  • Chasing the status afterwards

And a mistake in any of them costs the embassy fee, which is never refunded — plus a refusal you must declare on every future application.

With your officer

  • Send photos of what you already have
  • Approve the letters we drafted
  • Sign where your name is needed
  • Travel

Fixed, all-in fees published before you commit — GST included, embassy and VFS charges passed on at cost with no mark-up. See every price

The Lifeset Overseas office on Nabha Road, Patiala

Elite desk

A dedicated visa filing officer,assigned to your file.

One named person builds and files your application, start to finish. You never re-explain your case, and you are never handed to whoever happens to be free.

  • Business cover letter explaining what you do and why you are travelling
  • ITR and GST documentation assembled and cross-checked
  • Large deposits explained before the officer asks
  • Trade-fair or buyer invitation coordination
  • Complete filing and VFS appointment
  • Interview preparation where the country requires it

Your documents go to your officer directly and are used for your application only — never passed around, never reused. How we handle your papers

Specific to you

The parts a general checklist gets wrong.

01

Big deposits are not a problem — unexplained ones are

A seasonal business has lumpy banking. An officer who sees an unexplained credit assumes the worst. We annotate the statement so the pattern reads as a running business.

02

The business IS the tie to India

A firm with staff, premises, GST registration and an order book is a powerful reason to come home. Self-filed applications almost never present it that way.

03

Trade fairs and buyer visits

Business visitor routes have their own documentation — invitations, stall bookings, prior trade history. They are not tourist applications with a different tick box.

How it works

  1. 1

    One WhatsApp message

    Tell us the country and roughly when. No forms to fill in at this stage.

  2. 2

    We tell you honestly where you stand

    A consultant reads your case and says yes, not yet, or no — before you pay anything beyond the ₹499 report.

  3. 3

    Your officer builds the file

    One named person collects, checks and prepares everything, and messages you only when a decision is actually yours to make.

  4. 4

    We file and track it

    Appointment, submission and follow-up handled. You hear from us at each real milestone, not in between.

Side by side

Doing it yourself, or handing it over.

The same application, the same embassy, the same rules. What changes is who does the work — and how many of your evenings it costs.

  1. Working out what your case needs

    On your own

    Hours across forums, YouTube and agent blogs — much of it written for a different country, or for rules that have since changed.

    With your officer

    A document list built for your case on day one, from the current rules for that country.

  2. The application forms

    On your own

    Sixty-plus fields in an unfamiliar portal, where one careless answer about a past refusal or a past visa can sink the file.

    With your officer

    We complete them and send them to you to read and confirm. Nothing is submitted you have not seen.

  3. Letters — employer, invitation, cover

    On your own

    You guess the wording, and a vague letter is worse than a short one.

    With your officer

    Drafted in the wording embassies expect, for you to put on your own letterhead and sign.

  4. Money proof

    On your own

    You send the balance and hope it reads well.

    With your officer

    We tell you how your account actually reads to an officer before it is filed, and what to do if it reads badly.

  5. The appointment

    On your own

    Refreshing the VFS portal between patients, meetings or shifts, and taking whatever slot appears.

    With your officer

    We watch for releases through the working day and book it, then prepare your family for the day itself.

  6. While it is being decided

    On your own

    Silence, and a portal you check at midnight.

    With your officer

    Your officer tracks it and messages you on WhatsApp when anything changes.

  7. If it is refused

    On your own

    A letter that names a section of the law rather than a reason — and reapplying blind is how one refusal becomes three.

    With your officer

    We order the officer’s own notes where the country releases them, find the actual ground, and rebuild the file around it.

  8. Your own time

    On your own

    Evening after evening, on something you will do once.

    With your officer

    One conversation, then photographs of documents. We come back only when a decision is genuinely yours.

Where the money actually goes

Embassy and VFS fees do not come back

They are charged for processing the application, not for approving it. A refusal costs you that fee, and applying again costs it a second time.

A refusal follows the applicant

Most countries ask on every later form whether you have ever been refused a visa, anywhere. One rushed application can sit in the file for years.

Our fee is fixed, published and all-in

The 18% GST is already inside the number you are quoted, and there is no hourly billing. Embassy charges are passed to you at cost, with nothing added.

Questions we get asked

11 straight answers — no jargon, and nothing we cannot back up.

My ITR is lower than my actual turnover. Is that fatal?

Not automatically, but it must be handled honestly rather than hidden. We will tell you plainly how it reads to an officer and what genuinely strengthens the file. We do not create or alter documents for anyone, at any price.

Can you get me a business visa to work abroad?

No. A business visitor visa is for meetings, fairs and negotiations — not for taking up employment. Employment routes need a licence we do not hold, and we will say so rather than take your fee.

I have been refused before. Does that end it?

No. Refusals are much of what this firm does. We order the officer’s own notes where the country allows it, find the real ground, fix it, and reapply from a stronger position.

Which papers actually explain a business to a visa officer?

The ones that show it is real and that it continues without you: GST returns, the last two or three years of ITRs, the current account rather than the savings account, the partnership deed or incorporation certificate, and the Udyam or shop registration. We arrange them in the order the officer reads them, with a covering note in plain English.

How far back should my current account go?

Six months is the usual ask, and what matters is the shape of it, not the closing figure. Regular receipts from named buyers read as a working business; a quiet account with one large credit added last month reads as arranged money, whatever the balance says.

What convinces them I will come back to India?

Paper, not promises. The business that needs you, the property or lease in your name, staff on your payroll, and family staying here. This is the question sitting under most refusals of self-employed applicants, and it is answered with documents rather than with a sentence about intent.

I am going to a trade fair. What does that need?

The organiser’s invitation or stall confirmation, your registration, and a letter on your own letterhead saying who is travelling, why, for how long, and who pays. If a buyer abroad is hosting you, their letter has to say precisely which costs they cover — a vague one is worse than none.

I am travelling with my spouse and children. One file or three?

Filed together, documented once. The relationship proof and the funding story are built one time and referenced across the applications, instead of three separate files telling three slightly different versions of the same story — which is exactly how families collect partial refusals.

What am I actually paying for, and what goes to the embassy?

Two separate amounts. Our fee is fixed and published, and the 18% GST is already inside the number you are quoted — there is no bill at the end that is larger than the quote. Embassy and VFS fees are set by the government and passed to you at cost, with no margin and no GST added by us.

Will you tell me if my case is weak?

Yes, and before you pay us anything beyond the ₹499 report. You get one of three answers: file it now, not yet — fix this first, or no. Taking a fee for a file we expect to fail would cost us the review that brought you here.

How do I know you are a real, licensed firm?
