India visa


Nigello

Recommended Posts

I applied for a visa in autumn 2012 so not sure if my info/ experience reflects the current situation.

But I applied in person at the Visa Application Centre in Victoria.

It was relatively painless and straightforward, took about 45 mins wait to be called to the counter. Visa was ready for collection in less than a week.


Personally, I wouldn't bother paying a company.

HTH.

I applied in January, the processing centre is now near Old Street, I arrived around 2pm and was there until 5.30 simply to drop my passport off. I'd recommend either getting there first thing in the morning or using the postal service. Once I'd dropped it off it took three days for my passport to be couriered back to me which I think had a ?10 charge. You need to ensure that you carefully follow the checklist on the visa website to make sure you have everything needed

I went to India for business last year, i applied for a urgent business visa and once i had all the relevant paperwork i dropped off my application in the morning (8am) and was able to collect it same day (6pm).


It seems a fairly straight forward process and even those applying for non-urgent visas were served very quickly.


I did it without the help of any visa service company and everything was fine first time.

Do it yourself.


Go to VFS Goswell Rd, arrive early. It opens at 9am. I got there at 7.30am already 5 people in queue.


Apply within 6 weeks of traveling especially if you have a non UK passport. If non UK you will need to provide two utility bills (one should be most recent and one not more than 13 months old...you should double check that) OR an address in the country your passport was issued.


When visa ready you can collect at VFS between 4pm/5pm.


They will email/text you when application is received, sent off to Embassy and when visa is ready.


PM if you gave any other questions.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi , he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in East Dulwich . how much do you charge ?   Thanks 🙏🏼 
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
