This includes: single-point documentation collection from all travelers, consolidated application submission to VFS/embassy (often with priority group appointment slots), coordinated biometric scheduling, group invitation letters for business delegations, and unified application tracking. For Schengen visas, we work with specific embassies known for efficient group processing. Our group visa success rate is 98%+ due to meticulous document preparation.

We manage travel for Indian wedding groups of 50-500+ guests to destinations including Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya), Dubai, Goa, Rajasthan (Udaipur, Jaipur), Kerala, and international destinations. Services include: synchronized group flights from multiple Gujarat cities (Surat, Ahmedabad, Vadodara), hotel block bookings with wedding-specific amenities, airport transfers for the entire group, visa processing for international destinations, and on-ground wedding travel coordination.
What is the minimum group size and how far in advance should we book?
Our group travel services start from 10 travelers. For domestic tours, we recommend booking 4-8 weeks in advance. For international group travel, 8-16 weeks advance booking ensures the best flight fares and hotel availability. For large delegations (50+) and wedding groups, we recommend 4-6 months advance planning, especially during peak seasons (November-February for weddings, March-May for trade fairs). Last-minute group bookings of 10-20 people can often be accommodated for short-haul destinations like Dubai and Thailand with 2-4 weeks notice.
