# Set Up Visa Services and Visa Types

Create country-specific visa services, define the documents applicants must submit and configure visa types with their own pricing and processing details.

A visa service holds everything you need to sell a visa for a country: its destination, currency, required documents and one or more visa types. Once set up, it can be added to any quote. See [Visa Services](https://sembark.com/travel-software/docs/visa-services-overview.md) for the complete workflow.

## Create a Visa Service

Go to **Services > Visa** in the navigation bar. The page lists all your existing visa services.

1. Click **New Visa**.
2. Under **Visa Details**, fill in:

   - **Country** — the country for which the visa is applicable.
   - **Destination** — the destination where the visa is used.
   - **Visa Name** — a descriptive name that makes the visa easy to identify across Sembark.
   - **Currency** — the default currency for this visa service.

## Required Documents

At the service level, define which documents applicants must submit. You have two options:

- **Document Group** — pick a predefined group created under **Profile > Organisation > Document Types**. For example, a group called "Schengen Visa Documents" can bundle the passport, photo and bank statements.
- **Custom Document** — pick individual documents when no existing group covers the exact requirement.

## Configure Visa Types

A single visa service can have many visa types. For example, a UAE visa service might include a 30-day single entry, a 60-day multiple entry and a transit visa, each with different pricing and processing details. Add as many visa types as you need under one visa service.

For each visa type, configure:

- **Visa Type Name** — a descriptive name to identify this type, e.g. _30-Day Single Entry_.
- **Type of Visa** — e-Visa, Sticker Visa, Transit Visa, Single-Entry Visa or Visa on Arrival.
- **Processing Time** — the expected processing duration, in days or hours.
- **Visa Duration** — how long the visa remains valid after it is issued.
- **Type of Entries** — single, double or multiple.
- **Purpose of Visa** — the intended purpose of travel, e.g. tourism or business.
- **Cost Price per Person** — the cost you incur per applicant.
- **Selling Price per Person** — the price charged to the customer per applicant.
- **Valid Up To** — the date until which this visa type's pricing and conditions apply.
- **Application Minimum Days** — the minimum number of days before the travel date by which the application must be submitted.
- **Visa Type Documents** — the specific documents required for this visa type.
- **Description** — instructions, terms, conditions or remarks relevant to this visa type.
