Franny, keep the noise down for goodness sake :rofl :rofl :rofl

Really pleased for you, the postal strike was one worry too far.
If I was still to apply I would take the courier option without hesitation.

Hi guys, just filled in online forms and paid up! lol

Just a quick query on what I am sending

I intend to send the application form (completed online), and will sign the bottom (even though there is no where that says sign here!
2x passport picis
my passport

do they need anything else?
I have the address down as Hayes Middlesex, although I live in Sheffield South York's is this correct?

Thanks for you help!

Hi Howardb, yes all postal applications go to Hayes.
If you haven't paid VFS to return them, don't forget to enclose SDE envelope.
There should be a small space at the bottom of the form for a signature and date.
Good luck!!!

Are you sure there's nowhere to sign & date, I thought there was - but it's about 6 weeks since we did ours so I can't actually swear to that.

What option have you chosen for return?

If by Special Delivery, you'll need to include the SDE for return.

Yes, send to Hayes.

When you print off the form you should have a place to sign.
Personally I would have opted to pay for a special courier return and not included an SDE just in case the post strike escalates.

I have just had another look at the form my name is printed but I can't see a signature box. The only place I can see for a signature is on another form which just says tourist visa at the top maybe best to send this with a signature too!

I have opted for them to send me my doc's via their courier. Just in case!

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

Are you sure you have the right form Howard ?
It should be headed "India Visa Application" and it's clearly got a place for a signature at the bottom.

OOPs just found the error my printer is missing the bottom of the form eek!

reprinted it looks fine now, CHEERS

Forgot to mention I went for single entry instead of multipule is this a problem? I only intend to visit once in the next 6mths
