About Visahjelp
Every European visa application is based on an official list of documents, published by each country's immigration authority. These lists are correct, but there are hundreds of versions and they are written in difficult official language. Visahjelp finds the right list for your situation, translates it, and explains every document. Today: Norway, Germany, and France.
How we work — plainly
We don't
- Promise an approval — no honest service can.
- Add markups to any government fee.
- Hide the rules — every official source is one click away.
We do
- Translate the official checklist for your exact situation.
- Explain what each document needs to look like.
- Help further when your case calls for it — scope and fees agreed up front.
Frequently asked questions
How does the chat work? +
You answer a few simple questions in a chat. The assistant uses your answers to find which visa is right for you and builds the matching checklist — the same official list of documents the authority publishes, explained in your language. It is a guide, not a decision: the authority always makes the final decision, and every item links to the official source so you can check it yourself.
Is it really free? +
The assessment and your checklist are free to read, and the print-ready PDF is free to download. There are paid options for deeper, personalised help — but they are always optional, and you see the price before anything is charged.
Can I download my checklist as a PDF? +
Yes. After your assessment you can download your checklist as a print-ready PDF for free — with the official document list, a short tip for each document, and the source links, in English, Vietnamese, and the destination's own language.
Is my information stored safely? +
Your answers and saved cases are tied to your account and kept private — only you can see them when you are signed in, and a consultant only sees your case if you ask for help. We do not sell your data or share it with any authority or third party. It is used only to build your checklist and, if you request it, to let a consultant assist you.
Is Visahjelp affiliated with any immigration authority or embassy? +
No. Visahjelp is a private, independent guide service. We translate and explain the public checklists published by each destination's official authority — UDI, the Auswärtiges Amt, service-public.gouv.fr and others — but we do not represent them and we do not process applications. The authority is always the official body, and we link to it on every checklist.
What if I pick the wrong visa? +
No problem. If the situation you chose turns out not to fit, email support@visahjelp.com within 30 days for a free switch or a full refund.
