CIBT handles visa requests for all nationalities. The turn-around time depends on a number of factors and criteria. Some foreign nationals are considered easier to process by many consulates, while others can be more challenging. For example, Western European nationals who require a visa for entry to Brazil are easier to process than someone who holds a Pakistani passport. Many consulates must obtain approval from their home government prior to issuing a visa for citizens of certain countries. If a referral to the home government is required, processing can take considerably longer.
