Since UK hiked up visa fees for students/vistors from India I suppose the reverse had to happen!

I believe that for an Indian National to get a visitors visa for the U.K. to come here for a holiday, it costs them more than £60, so I reckon the Indian Gov. is not the only rip off merchant around, and I would guess they would get even more hassle from the U.K. visa dept. than we do when we apply Alan

A visa agency charges more any way

Neil I am pretty sure this is a Visa provider company who will turn round a visa quickly for you and charge £60 and not the hci website. If that makes sense.

And I am presuming that is where the confusion has come from PK :idea:

Friends of ours who live in Goa are back in England for a visit and as we live quite close to the embassy in Birmingham they decided to renew thier Visa before flying out to Malta for a holiday, they have lived in Benaulim for 3 years and renewed thier visas in Sri Lanka, Cambodia and tailand, no problem, untill they went to Brum on Thursday, they were told they cannot renew thier visa in Brum because the address on thier passports is for a London address so they must renew thier visas in London.
Has anyone else had this problem? my friends are now in Malta worried they may not get back to thier home in Goa.

Not sure what's going on here but since when have people had their address in their passport? :?

back page of your passport - personally I havent added mine though

Surely the back page is for addresses of people to contact in an emergency,not your own address.Paula

Any one know if you can still apply for a visa by post to any of the other India High commissions? We live in N. Ireland so we usually do it by post to London.
