First sceptical, then super convinced!I was first quite sceptical about this whole third-party provider helping me with a government service... but ternvisa changed my mind! Very efficient, super quick, and for a small pricetag.

So much easier than the government websiteGetting a visa was so much easier and quicker using Tern than using the government web site. It really did only take a couple of minutes – and my approved visa came back almost immediately. Definitely recommend using Tern.
