About Fast Travellers

The doorway to Europe and the Gulf, from the UK.

Visa consultancy, flights, hotels and holidays for people living in the UK on a non-UK passport. A Northampton team, working since 2020, that builds visa files by hand and stays on WhatsApp until the passport is back.

Why we exist

For people who live here but travel on another passport.

If you live in the UK on a non-UK passport, a weekend in Europe starts with a consulate appointment, a stack of documents and rules that change by country. Most of the help online is written for British passport holders, or for people applying from home.

We work only on that gap. Every file is checked by a consultant who knows the consulate, every appointment is watched daily, and every price is quoted in writing before you commit.

How we work

  • The file

    A checklist written for your passport and UK status, then every form, letter and statement checked before your appointment.

  • The appointment

    We watch the visa centres' booking pages every day and take the earliest slot that fits your dates.

  • The price

    Consulate and visa-centre fees are theirs. Ours is quoted in writing, and nothing is paid until you say go.

Independent, and clear about it

What we are, and what we are not.
  • We are an independent consultancy. We are not an embassy, a consulate, VFS Global, TLScontact or BLS International.
  • Visa decisions are made by the issuing authority. Nobody can guarantee a visa, and we never will.
  • Consulate fees and visa-centre charges are paid to them; our fee is separate and quoted in writing.
  • Fast Travellers Limited, company number 16673383, 35 Bowden Road, Northampton, NN5 5LT.
