One and a half hours sat in an immigration office having to deal with jumped up officious pricks was not my idea of "Welcome to India". Just a thought. Hi John, doing India?....see you in Goa (Mike/Lee/Martin..Lucky Tuna Una) |

Found this out on the vsf.global website under important news and information. Does it mean all mobile phones? Have tried the DOT website but cannot find any information. satelitte phones are not the same as mobile (cellular) phones so there should be no problems taking your phone with you, roll on november |

Good morning all, I would appreciate any advise on my visa situation. I completed the application on line and paid for my visa, I choose to post the application to Birmingham not realising that postal applications are only accepted at London branch/ I can't contact anyone to speak to so any advise would be appreciated. Regards Mark |

Regards Mark As you say, postal applications should be submitted to the Hayes office regardless of where in the country you live. In the FAQ section of the VFS website there's a question about what happens if your application has been posted to the Indian High Commission. The reply states that it will be redelivered to Hayes, so I would guess the same will probably happen to your application. Assuming you have kept a record of your passport number, there is a tracking facility you can use. Go to http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/ and look on the top left of the page. there's a menu there that includes "Track your application." |

I must have been in a way super lucky... I filled in the application on vsfglobal website (I'll admit to a bit of a mission) & the application centre in central london has a photo booth to get the misery shot (ie don't smile when you have the photo taken) and a week later my passport was ready. #phew. |

Just 2 add my 2penneth. Anybody wiv a UK passport, coming 2 SL 4 world T20, can get an indian visa in Colombo. The vfs application office is on galle rd, col 3, btween Majestic City & McDonalds. Takes 5 days 4 visa. Get (& complete) on-line form. Take wiv p'port 2 office, hand 2 reception, get told off, go to photo man who will take right size photos, back 2 reception, b nice, wait 1-2 hrs, hand over 7,000LKR. Go back 4-5 days, morn, giv p'port, go back 5pm, visa. It worked 4 me! Remember, if u want multiple entry visa, put on form, wiv poss countries u may want 2 re-enter from. @m8s: sorry net access shite lst cupla mths. @nsppl: think bein playd now, Bert Dache - Don't Stop The World For Me, crackr! |

You were lucky that the photo booth was working! It often isn't, so it's best to get your photos done in advance. I notice that nearly all those "PhotoMe" photo booths have an Indian visa size photograph facility on them now, so that makes things a bit easier than when they first changed their rules regarding photos. |

Snappy Snaps do too but at £14 for four. Bit much. |
