Can I send two applications in one envelope, and include one envelope for them both to be returned it?

Do you think it was cause issues if I put my mum's address on the return one? I'm never in when the postman does his rounds.

Yes Mobor we did and as long as there special delivery envelopes and prepaid was not a problem,sorry i dont know about different delivery address though. Good luck :tup

It's all a bit nerve wracking isn't it Mobor. I will be like you when I apply for ours at the end of October, checking twice a day before I can breathe easy again even though I know I have never had any problems. Having said that though, last year I was issued with a 3 month single entry visa for the first time in 11 years and this year I want a 6 month one for a visit to Goa for 3 weeks in December and then a visit for 16 days in April to tour Northern India. Hope nothing goes wrong.

I waited until now in case I got a 3 month one, as my return to the UK is 1st January, so I will be covered for that.

I think this is my 12th visa, and every year I go through this. I keep doubting myself, and in one breath say, well it's always been alright before, and then I think, yeah, but surely odds are I have to do it wrong eventually?

I think I preferred the pen and paper method. (As long as you remembered to use a black pen!!!) And I also preferred being able to go to London and sit and wait for a same day return.

Just think of the beach that will be waiting for you when you get there. It will all be worth it.

After reading all the posts on here about new visa applications and now really stressed, I am about to do ours. Can someone confirm that I can complete them on one computer and then go back into the application on a different one to print off? Having printer problems, I want to be able to print them off, hopefully tomorrow, at work. Thanks.

you might have but it says it can take up to that time when its busy. and it is beginning of season.

and pol i can see no reason why you cannot do that cos its like logging in from anywhere else.but havnt tried that myself yet. have just tried from another computer and because i have completed and got a final application number it wont let me retrieve it. but i always go to print and then save to hdd. then you can put the pdf file onto a key and you can print from any pc. just a thought.

I asked a question earlier and got no replies, so is anyone using photos they bought from last season in a set of 6 or are you getting new ones taken ?
Would be good to know if any apps get rejected by doing this.

had to get new ones as i only had english passport size photos left

What size are they spike? they changed to 2"x2" last year I think round about nov, any of the old size which it sounds like you may have are being rejected, you can see the new specification here http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/touristvisa_photospecs.htmle :tup

Well This year i am going to the local asian travel agent who can sort the visa's out for us all you need is your passport and your info, cost is 60 pound done and dusted, am taking the easy way out this time he he he.

Silentman - We had the 2"x2" from last season so still got 4 pics left each, stupid money to shell out if you can't use the ones left over..

:think Taking of those odd size pictures I was in a larger Post Office (located with in a shop) today and they had that size of picture machine available, £4.99 for 6 pictures so it might be worth taking a look in that style of Post Office if you can't find somewhere for them.

We paid £7 for 4 2" photographs. We had them taken in a 'photo me' booth although the price on the booth showed £5 when we selected the new visa photograph option the price changed to £7. It was still cheaper than the price quoted by Jessops and Timpsons.
