Right - we tried our MP's what about contacting the media about this ridiculous situation? Do you think that would help?

Did these prices include the £30 visa fee or on top?

I thought £10 or £15 on top of visa price better than £20 most of the other london travel agents are charging. :)

Thank god for that.

When members are trying to help by sharing details on agents I think it is crucial to indicate whether the price includes the visa fee or not - it does make quite a bit of difference!

Sorry thought that was obvious would not have bothered to tell others if it had been £40 to £45 on top of £30 visa, that would be a stupid price to pay. :shock: Just edited the origanal post to include it is with the visa fee included. maureen

I agree but some agencies do charge that amount (our official one at work charges £35 no matter what the visa fee is).

I understand , we have ours, and I am just sitting here watching and reading about all you unfortunate people. I was just the same last week but thankfully we got ours.

My wife has just been to our friendly travel agent and the first thing he asked was if we had our visas. He knew all about the situation so hopefully others in higher authority must realise our problems and do something.

I get a newsletter from Goa everyday and I have brought the situation to his attention and he said he will pass it on to a journalist freind. The people of Goa know nothing of our problems and they will be effected if there is a drop in tourism.

Anyway , good luck and I sure I will see you all in Goa. When you get your visas you can argue about who buys the drinks.

Rockerender, I would like to think it would be without the visa, and would have saved myself £90, but some how don't think the Indian authorities would buy in to that one :lol: jxk8....................

i dont think you should pay any more than you have to. we sent to astro global travel in bolton and it was a superb service . we got our visas back in 2 weeks and it only cost us £10 more than just sending to the hci in the first place.
