Jun 8, 2015 at 21:25 comment added phoog I should have mentioned that my assertion was based on personal experience. When my mother in law applied for an EEA family permit in Sarajevo, earlier this year, the outsourcing company did handle the application, and did not charge a fee. I'm not sure how the UK foreign office managed to arrange that! Beyond that, I have no experience with other countries, nor knowledge of their procedures.

Jun 8, 2015 at 19:38 comment added Relaxed @phoog I read somewhere in the Handbook that the consulate should accept direct applications in this case so that EU citizens family member are able to get a free visa even when other applicants have to go through a third-party but not necessarily force the outsourcing company to wave its fee. Not sure how well any of this works in practice.
Jun 8, 2015 at 18:33 comment added phoog In the case of the UK EEA family permit, the outsourcing company's fee is waived. I would guess that this applies to analogous visa applications with other countries, but I am by no means certain of that.
