MazD we are in exactly the same position as you with visas and we have posted back and arrived at Hayes on 18th Jan, just wondering if you have tried tracking yours yet? I have and receive the message "sorry no record found" I am keeping everything crossed that they are not being returned again!!!??

This is our eighth visit to Goa and the first time visas have been returned, hubby threatens to find a new holiday destination for next year!!??

Just hoping that Mr. Optimistic hubby of mine is right and Mrs. Pessimistic Fizzy is wrong - watch this space :)

Hi everyone, posted my Visas on the 06 January and received them on 15 January. Bought photopaper and printed off our own 2 x 2 photos from the photo ID link on here, actually ended up being easy to do the photos. Obviously okay as Visas now back with photo on Visa.

All I have to do now is wait for the 13th February until I board that flight and thoughts of my soon to be honeybee in my hands. So excited.

This Visa application process is scary, ive applied through VFS and will post my docs tomorrow. fly out on 24/02 so hope I will have plenty of time should it be returned to me. Couple of things though:

Saw on a site somewhere that if 'If the applicants passport is newer then 6 months old, the previous passport needs to be submitted as well.' is this the case?

also not all fields on the visa app online are mandatory so should you complete any others like port of exit by hand?

had our visas done begining of the month sent new passports,no probs,just filled in everything they asked for,although i meant to tick return by royal mail and did dx by mistake so payed online for that couldn't find the add on for my husband so did a seprate application and ticked royal mail for his(it had nearly taken 3hrs by now and i was losing the will to live :cry )They both came back in the dx envelope and no sign of the special delivery one with all the stamps on,but i posted them 31st dec had them back 4th jan which is quite a result.Good Luck

My passport was brand new and I got my visa without sending off my old one.

excellent thanks guys, im a bit more confident now having researched most of the day and sent an email also to VFS to check whether we have to sign one or both photos and whether 3months is ok for tourist visa.

The Visa surgery is opened in Glasgow again which is great for me cos its saves me a trip through to Edinburgh.
