Passport renewal assistance in Mumbai.

No. Arika Visa offers passport application and renewal assistance from its desk in Goregaon East, Mumbai: filling the online form with you, the document checklist, booking the Passport Seva appointment and following up. Only Passport Seva issues passports. Arika is not part of Passport Seva, cannot speed up an application and cannot promise when a passport will be issued.

Yes. The applicant attends the Passport Seva appointment in person with original documents, and a child attends with a parent. Arika Visa books the slot with you and checks your originals and copies against the checklist beforehand, so the visit goes smoothly. Any police verification is arranged by the passport authorities, not by Arika.

The government fee depends on the type of passport and service and is shown on the Passport Seva portal when you apply; you pay it there. Arika Visa does not print the government fee, because it is set and changed by the authorities. Arika's own service charge for the assistance is quoted to you in writing before you begin, from the desk in Goregaon East, Mumbai.

Arika cannot speed up a passport. Tatkaal is a Passport Seva scheme with its own eligibility, documents and fee, all set by Passport Seva. If you qualify, Arika Visa helps you apply under it and prepares the papers it needs, but the timing is decided by Passport Seva alone. Nobody outside Passport Seva can promise a passport in a given number of days.

Usually your current or old passport and proof of your present address, with more papers if your name, address or other details have changed. A child's application needs the parents' documents as well. Requirements depend on your case, so Arika Visa gives you the checklist for your situation after you enquire, and checks every page before your appointment.

Yes. Passport assistance runs from the same visa desk in Goregaon East, Mumbai, that prepares tourist, business, student and Schengen visas. Once your new passport is issued, the same case owner can start your visa checklist, and Arika Group can book flights, hotels, insurance and forex around the trip. A visa is never filed on a passport that has not yet been issued.
