Our family has bought a "Holiday Package" to United Arabic Emirates, however, the travel agency said that they process visas only for Checks and we would have to take care of the visas ourselves. We found the "visa services" agency, but the price for which they would make a visa is enormous. Therefore, I was wondering if anybody knows and could provide with the phone number of any other "visa service" agencies?

First of all, we'll assume the Checks you are talking about are "substitutes for cash", rather than Czechs, referring to the people of the Czech Republic.

The next assumption is that you are from the US or UK. If that's the case, you don't need to get a visa in advance to visit Dubai and other Emirates destinations. You simply get a 30 day stamp in your passport as you pass through Immigration at the airport.

Of course, you really could have Googled this info yourself. Or maybe looked at a website of a company like Emirates Air where the info is easily available.

No, I am not from the US nor UK. If I was a native speaker, maybe I would have never misspelled the word "Czechs":) And yes, I did lot's of googling, and I know that I need a visa. The closest embassies are in Vienna and in Berlin. SO, I would rather use the Visa services agency, but I do not want to pay 25000 per 3 people, when I know that it costs only 6000. So , I am looking for other agencies, which hopefully charge less.

Since you don't bother listing your nationality, it's doubtful anyone can help you here. But, why don't you just PHONE the embassy in Vienna, Berlin, London, etc. and find out if they can do this for you by mail.

If you are flying Emirates Air, they will handle it for you. Check with your airline to see if they do the same thing.

But, gee... maybe next time you can check info like this BEFORE you pay the money. Most "visa" agencies here seem to be people who assist in getting Czech visas.
