What does it mean if passport returned but no refusal stamp or visa in it?
I’m a Travel Agent from Karachi, Pakistan. I applied for my client from Pakistan to the Russian Embassy in Islamabad. Completed all formalities: confirmed hotel, ticket, tourist voucher from Rusvisaonline, PCC etc.
The Embassy took the passport on 14th Nov and the ambassador even called the hotel to check that the reservation is confirmed or not. After confirming he kept just the passport, hotel and tourist voucher and visa form and remaining docs he returned.
After that, he said please pay the fees at the counter. After paying the embassy fees, he gave receiving date is 14 Dec, meaning exactly 30 days later. But when my client arrived today, 14th Dec, there’s no any refusal stamp on it nor visa was pasted. So what does it mean?
Best Answer
It means somebody at the embassy messed up. Your client needs to go back to the embassy with their receipt and ask what's up.
