What we do
Visa and travel handled in one place
The visa file and the trip are really the same thing. When one team books the flights, the hotel and the insurance, the documents line up with each other — and that's precisely what a consulate is checking for.
Visa appointment assistance
Finding and booking appointment slots at VFS Global, TLScontact and UK consulate visa centres.
Learn moreDocument review
A consultant checks every page before you submit and tells you what's missing.
Learn moreExpress visa assistance
Priority handling for when your travel date is close and there's no room for a second attempt.
Learn moreFlight booking
Fares and reservations from economy to business, including refundable holds where a consulate will accept one.
Learn moreTravel insurance
Schengen-compliant cover that meets the minimum medical and repatriation requirements.

Then it’s on to the trip itself: flights, hotels, the itinerary.
Why TRIPOO
The reasons clients stay with us
Visa work is detail work, and clients tell us the same thing again and again: speed matters less than knowing exactly who's handling their file, and what it's going to cost.
Experienced consultants
The people handling your file prepare Schengen applications every week — this isn't a script read off a screen.
One named contact
One consultant follows your case from the first call through to the decision, so you're never repeating yourself to someone new.
Transparent pricing
Our fee gets agreed in writing before anything starts. Consulate and biometric costs are shown separately, at cost.
Everything in one place
Visa, flights, hotel, insurance and itinerary handled by the same team, so the paperwork actually agrees with itself.
Fast, human replies
A real consultant answers WhatsApp and email, usually within 18 hours.
Careful with your data
Your documents sit under UK GDPR, get kept only as long as the application needs, and never get sold on.
Honest advice
If your case isn't likely to succeed — or you don't need us at all — we'll say so upfront.
Business & group travel
Trade fairs, conferences, family groups, staff trips — we coordinate multiple applicants at once.

Client reviews
What clients say about TRIPOO
“Applied for a French tourist visa with about six weeks' notice and was sure I'd left it too late. They caught that my bank statement was missing a stamp before it ever reached the consulate, and the appointment came through with time to spare. Approved, no issues.”
“Second time applying after a refusal the year before — this time someone actually explained what had gone wrong the first time. The checklist was specific to my case, not a generic list. Took a bit of back-and-forth to pin down an appointment slot, but it came together in the end.”
“Booked flights, hotel and the visa through them for a family trip to Italy. Everything on the paperwork matched up, which apparently isn't always the case, and the consulate had no follow-up questions. Would use them again for the next trip.”
About TRIPOO
A travel partner, not a form-filling service
TRIPOO TRAVELS LIMITED is a UK-based travel and visa consultancy. We help people living here get to Europe and beyond — building applications that hold up under scrutiny, then sorting the trip that follows.
We would rather turn work down than take a fee for an application that is not ready. That is the whole business model: get it right first time, and be the people you come back to next year.
More about usMission
Make international travel reachable for people in the UK, whatever passport they hold.
Vision
The consultancy UK travellers recommend to their family without being asked.
How we work
One named consultant, written checklists, fixed fees and honest answers.
What we will not do
Invent documents, promise outcomes, or charge for work an applicant does not need.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most. Don't see yours here? Send it over and we'll give you a proper answer, not a form letter.
What documents do I need for a Schengen visa?
It depends on your circumstances, but a standard short-stay application usually comes down to a completed application form, a passport valid at least three months beyond your return with two blank pages, a passport photo to ICAO standard, proof of your UK immigration status, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 including repatriation, proof of where you're staying, a return travel booking, and evidence you can fund the trip — recent bank statements plus proof of employment, study or business. We turn this into a checklist built around your actual situation, not the generic version.
How long does the visa process take?
Consulates aim to decide short-stay applications within 15 calendar days of the appointment, extendable to 45 if the file needs a closer look. In practice, appointment availability is usually the bigger bottleneck — we recommend starting six to eight weeks before travel, and you can apply up to six months out.
Which country should I apply to?
You apply to the country where you will spend the most nights. If nights are equal across countries, you apply to the one you enter first. Getting this wrong is a common reason for refusal, so it is the first thing we check.
Can you help with visa appointments?
Yes. We monitor availability at the centre that handles your destination — VFS Global, TLScontact or the consulate directly — and book the earliest slot that suits your dates. We cannot create slots that do not exist, and we never charge for a slot we have not secured.
Do you provide travel insurance?
We arrange Schengen-compliant travel medical insurance that meets the minimum €30,000 medical and repatriation requirement, and we make sure the policy documents show what a consulate needs to see.
Can you arrange flights and hotels?
Yes — flights in all cabin classes, plus hotels and apartments. For applications we can use flexible or free-cancellation bookings so you are not committed before a decision, then confirm once the visa is granted.
Which Schengen countries do you cover?
All 29 Schengen members, including Bulgaria and Romania, which became full members on 1 January 2025. We also assist with UK, US, Canada, UAE, Turkey and other visa applications.
Can you help if my visa was previously refused?
Yes. We read the refusal notice, identify which ground was cited, and advise honestly on whether a fresh application or an appeal is the better route. A refusal does not bar you from applying again, but repeating the same file rarely changes the answer.
