BLS International advises visa applicants to exercise caution and vigilance regarding the following points:
- No Cash for Appointments: Our staff never ask visa applicants to make cash payments or any other form of payment to obtain an appointment, expedite the visa application process, secure an earlier appointment, or influence decision-making.
- No Personal Bank Transfers: We do not recommend any direct payments into personal bank accounts.
- Official Booking Channel Only: Appointments must be booked exclusively through the official BLS website for Slovakia in South Africa. Please refer to the website for authorized service fees payable to BLS International.
- Receipts for Extra Services: Always request a receipt for optional value-added services available at our center.
- No Influence on Visa Decisions: The decision regarding visa applications is made solely by the competent authorities (the Embassy of the Slovak Republic), and BLS International has no role or influence in this process. If you receive any request suggesting otherwise (in writing or verbally), please report it immediately by completing the complaint form or by sending an email to antifraud@blsinternational.com.
- Beware of Third-Party Sellers: Be cautious of intermediaries selling visa appointments under the name of BLS International or individually outside our center. All appointments must be booked through the BLS International website.
- Condemnation of Fraudulent Practices: Please refrain from purchasing appointments through a third party: this is a fraudulent practice that BLS International strongly condemns.
- Active Warning to Applicants: As a responsible service provider, we make every effort to inform applicants to be wary of fraudulent intermediaries charging fees to clients for appointment bookings.
