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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
