Cox and Kings Global Services USA LLC.

Since the beginning of the year, you’ve done all your planning for your trip to India and have made all the necessary sacrifices just to ensure that your travel plans see fruition. You have also saved up for the vacation – putting in extra hours at work and avoiding the biggest sales events even though you really wanted that new Ludlow suit. You have everything you need for your travel. Right?

If you’re going to India for an official business trip, or for some well-deserved rest and recreation, then a trip to a nearby Cox & Kings Global Services (CKGS) Application Centers is a must to apply for an Indian Visa. It should be noted that the Embassy of India and its consulates in the U.S. do not recognize other agencies for visa applications.

For some individuals, personally applying for a visa poses no trouble at all for they live a short distance away from the application center. Going to the center may also be worthwhile as you can ask for clarifications regarding the application process, use the photo booth for the required ID pictures, and print or photocopy the documents you need to submit with your application.

However, commuting to the center could also mean additional costs and a few hours off your time. Thus, if you don’t have a lot of time to spare or if you’re simply looking for a more efficient way to handle you visa application then you can rely on the courier service offered by CKGS through FedEx.

The $30 fee that you have to pay for the service is minimal compared to the costs you’ll incur when you travel the center, which includes gas, toll, and parking fees. The courier service comes with the assurance that you will get the visa and passport back in seven working days from the date that your application lands in the CKGS office in New York granted that the documents you’ve submitted are all in order as mandated on the website. The granting of the visa, however, remains as the prerogative of the Indian consulate.
