Tamar International Passport And Visa Services

I had an AWESOME experience with Tamar International! I needed a rush passport for a trip to Jamaica after waiting until the last minute to obtain a first time US Passport. I was able to get it within a week stress free. The staff at Tamar is very personable and informative, my mind was put at ease and everything went according to plan. I highly recommend!

I needed a rush visa to enter into Brasil, in less than 20 days, and Tamar International came through for me! Everywhere I inquired, I was given a 4 — 8 week lead time, at best. With Tamar, I received my visa in less than 2 weeks. Tamara was great at communicating with me, and letting me know about the status of my visa, and what steps she was taking to make sure that I would be able to make my trip. Tamara was very professional, and very informative. Definitely happy with my experience with Tamar International Passport and Visa Services. :-)

I had a really positive experience applying for an Indian visa through Tamar International during the holidays. Tamara helped me make sure I had all the correct paperwork, which I didn’t initially, and had filled out the application correctly. She was very clear about the process, though, she slightly underestimated (by a day) how long it would take to get it back, but considering it was the holidays, it did not seem unreasonable. I initially thought the fee for completing the process on top of the visa costs was high, but realizing how much time I would have spent going back and forth with a very disorganized, bureaucratic process with Cox and Kings, I’m really glad I went with Tamar.
My only recommendation is that if you’re applying for an Indian visa give yourself plenty of time to account for Cox and Kings various «computer outages» or issues they may have with your application.

Nice and pleasant place, although it’s located inside the building and it takes some time to check in.

Had a very good experience working with Tamar; they were extremely efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable as I had many questions and little time to secure a tourist visa for China. But they got it done with time to spare. They were helpful and responsive through the whole process; I would definitely consider them again in the future if the need for similar services arises. Highly recommended.

These people blatantly lied to me. I don’t write many Unilocal reviews but I feel the need to warn fellow stressed out desperate travelers.
This morning at 9 am I realized my passport had expired and I have a flight booked for tomorrow evening.
I called Tamar at around 10 am and they said that it was too late to submit an application today, and they can probably get an appointment tomorrow first thing. They also said that the passport office is experiencing «technical difficulties» and delays .
They said that they could «probably» get me a new passport by tomorrow 5pm, for 350 $ (but that they might have to charge more) plus the 170 $ application fee.
This all sounded suspicious to me so I declined. I filled out the renewal form on my own, got my old passport, proof that I am traveling tomorrow, passport photos and went to the government office at 376 Hudson St.
By NOON they had seen me, accepted my application for passport renewal. I paid 170 $.
They said my new passport would be ready by 3pm. I got my new passport at 4:30pm today.
I’m so happy that I didn’t listen to the lies the people at Tamar told me.

I spent a night in China while en route to Cambodia and getting a Chinese visa completely slipped my mind until a few days before I was taking off. Happened to find this place while desperately looking for a drugstore that could take passport photos. I was panicked and not up to date on everything I needed to have/​fill out/​do to get the visa in such a short amount of time. They not only took my photos but went to the embassy for me and got my passport back to me with my (10-​year!) visa all ready to go the day before i had to leave. Pretty much saved my entire trip and they were completely awesome about everything. THANK YOU.

Memorial Day weekend –I was scheduled to take an international flight on Sunday and learned on Saturday that my passport was expiring too soon. I was in a panic! We picked Tamar based on the consistently great reviews and crossed our fingers hoping they were legit. I got Claude on the phone right away. It was such a relief to talk to someone. He assured me that they could get me a passport on Tuesday, if I came in first thing on Sunday morning. I so appreciated his willingness to accommodate me. (The State Dept was not issuing any emergency passports over the weekend, unless there was a death involved). We were able to reschedule our trip to later in the week, so I came in on Tuesday and met Tamara Carty, the very reassuring CEO, by Wednesday afternoon I had my passport, just as they promised. Yeah!!!

Not worth the hoops you have to jump through; from gaining access to the building, to finding them on the 8^th floor, to the long wait. I could have gone a few blocks in either direction and gotten a passport photo in 5 minutes.

Great service, friendly people, and fast results. I needed custom size and specific background color passport photos and they delivered.

Tamar International provided incredible service. I was in a bind and needed to replace a lost passport in 24 hours! Tamara and Claude were both incredibly professional, friendly and helpful. I would recommend this service to anyone who needs help expediting their passport. I owe my vacation to Tamar! Thank you!

In dealing with Tamar International they were absolutely pleasant, timely, friendly and fast! I was working with them thru my company, but I can definitely forsee that I will be working with them again for my own personal travel! Thank you for the lovely service!
