In case the participant fails to provide the information, documents, forms, and/or documents requested by the Visa Intermediary Organization and/or fails to comply with the instructions of the Visa Intermediary Organization, including the date of appointment or interview, no refund will be made in case the visa is obtained late, the visa period is less than the total tour duration and/or the visa cannot be obtained at all. Since obtaining a visa does not guarantee entry to the country in question, SOFOS TOURISM has no responsibility in case the participant is not accepted to the country within the tour, and therefore no refund or compensation can be paid. In addition, the participant is responsible for the damages and losses that will occur in cases where the participant cannot start the tour for any reason, even against his/her will, such as being banned from travelling abroad for reasons such as tax debt, etc., and no refund will be made in such cases. The insurance to be made does not cover the failure to obtain a visa.
• Our guests whose participation in the trip is finalized should not change their passports after sending their passport samples to the Visa Brokerage Organization. Changes to the passports after they have been sent to the Visa Brokerage Organization without informing the Visa Brokerage Organization may cause problems in visa procedures, even prevent the visa from being obtained, and put participation in the trip at risk.
• Loss of the passport during the trip is the sole responsibility of the participant and SOFOS TURİZM does not accept any responsibility in such cases.
• SOFOS TOURISM cannot be held responsible for passport problems between the competent authorities and the person, such as failure to present the passport, cancellation, or restriction by the competent authorities.
• Our guests who will participate in the trip must start their trip with the passport they present to SOFOS TOURISM during registration and must keep their passports until the end of the trip.
• SOFOS TOURISM does not accept any responsibility in case of using a different passport than the passport presented during registration for the tour. SOFOS TOURISM cannot be held responsible for any material damages that may occur. Even in such a case, SOFOS TOURISM will have recourse to the relevant participant for any damages, penalties, and compensation that SOFOS TOURISM may incur.
