Most visa headaches are paperwork headaches — a missing statement, dates that don't match. Drop in your bookings, statements, and insurance; PackMyDocs checks everything against the official list, flags gaps and mismatches, and hands you back an organized folder with a cover letter.
How it works
Photos, PDFs, screenshots, forwarded emails — in any order, straight from your phone. Messy is fine; that's the job.
Everything gets sorted, named, and assembled — the letter drafted, the timeline dated, every document numbered and indexed.
One clean PDF for wherever it needs to go — a dispute portal, an email, a printer. You review it before using it.
Is this you?
Before you upload
This is the standard set for a short-stay tourist application. Gather what you can and upload it as-is — we check dates, names, and amounts against each other and flag anything the consulate would squint at.
Tick off what you already have — progress stays on this device.
What you get back
Ana's France application — bookings, statements, and insurance turned into a completeness check, cover letter, and indexed folder.
A completeness checklist matched to your trip purpose, with every gap flagged
A cover letter outline that states purpose, dates, itinerary, funding, and ties in one page
A consistency check — names, dates, and amounts compared across your documents
A document index in consulate-friendly order, as one organized folder

After you hit send
You apply at the consulate (or visa center) of the country that is your main destination, typically no earlier than 6 months and no later than 15 days before travel. Appointment slots fill up — book early.
Consulates publish their exact list — it varies slightly by country and purpose. Collect everything before your appointment; incomplete files are the most common avoidable problem.
Dates on bookings, names on invitations, amounts on statements — they must all tell the same story. Contradictions read as red flags even when they're just sloppiness.
Processing is typically up to 15 calendar days, longer in peak season. Keep your organized folder — the same set is the starting point for any future application.
Get started
Upload your documents and get back an organized packet you can review, download, and use where it needs to go.
Scans or photos of your passport, bookings, insurance certificate, bank statements, employer letter — whatever the consulate's list asks for. Any format. We put it in the consulate's preferred order and index it.
Minutes. Upload, get your folder, read the cover letter, adjust what you like. You stay in control of every page that goes in.
A cover letter doesn't change your facts, and nothing guarantees a visa. What it does is make your application easy to understand — purpose, funding, and ties in one page — so the officer isn't reconstructing your story from 40 loose pages.
Consulates generally ask for a reservation or itinerary, not a paid ticket. Many applicants use refundable bookings. Check your consulate's exact wording — requirements differ.
Many consulates require translations of key documents. Your consulate's published checklist states which ones and whether translations must be certified.
No. PackMyDocs helps you organize your documents against the official published requirements. It doesn't assess eligibility, predict outcomes, or represent you. The consulate's own checklist is always the authority.
