WASHINGTON, May 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the majority of corporate travel departments, managing visa and passport applications becomes a mess of complex processes and hidden fees.
This was the case for EchoStar a global leader in satellite communications solutions, until its travel manager switched to VisaHQ, the leading online visa and passport application solution.
“We had horrific service issues with our previous provider,” says Ron Tiu, EchoStar Director of Corporate Travel.
VisaHQ President Oleg Naydonov says, “Many corporations don’t give visa and passport applications much thought until they realize how much of an impact a bad provider can have on executive travelers and on finance.”
Prior to selecting VisaHQ, as EchoStar looked for the right passport and visa application solution, Ron says that he wanted a supplier that could demonstrate:
- Outstanding expertise in travel documentation.
- A 24/7 online solution that features centralized information and user profiles. A tracking system complying with duty of care.
When Ron found VisaHQ, he ran a trial with key stakeholders to get feedback on the platform. Quickly it became apparent that with VisaHQ, “essentially, visa & passport service issues became a non-event,” says Ron.
