ORIGINAL POSTERJust got denied without any explanation in Sri Lanka. Does anyone have a agency to recommend?

The conversation revolves around an individual's experience of having their visa application denied in Sri Lanka without any explanation. They seek recommendations for agencies to assist with reapplying. Various comments reveal mixed experiences with agencies, with some users advocating for a DIY approach, citing successful approvals without agency help, while others share their negative experiences with both agencies and the visa process. The discussion also includes mentions of a specific agency, Issa Compass, which some users found effective. Overall, there is skepticism about the effectiveness of agencies in securing visa approvals.

We had an agency apply on behalf of someone through our gym (Tiger Eye) in Colombo and they got denied, while others who did it themselves got approved. I dont think agencies do anything special, you should give more detail about your application
