Caroline’s Shiny Penny this week is a service that I helped one of my clients with – getting an international visa quickly. I was very impressed with the calmness, competence and speed with which they obtained a visa for travel to a country that is known for being difficult.

International Visa Service is best known as “The Visa Lady” and is a private company, not a government entity and have been in business since 1976. They can expedite obtaining a passport in 1-10 days. I could tell from their professionalism with dealing with time-crunched customers that they are great at what they do. Honestly, I completely doubted that they could get a visa to this particular country as quickly as they said they could. However, they got it within days and made my client VERY happy!

If you are going somewhere and suddenly realized your passport is expired, or you need help navigating getting an international visa quickly, I highly recommend contacting them. After looking at their website, they do a lot more than passports and visas, including getting all kinds of certified documents, from birth certificates and marriage or divorce documents to police clearance records.

I worked with Regina, who was super helpful, but everyone there seemed great.

They have 2 locations in Atlanta: 404-843-0005

316 Hammond Drive, Sandy Springs, GA

Hartsfield Jackson International Airport

If you go there, I hope you will tell them Caroline sent you!
