I left application for visa a bit late so chose to use this service to be sure. I was a bit horrified at cost but felt I had no option. Being elderly I had to ask for help from my daughter but she completed the application easily and I was impressed by speed that the visa arrived
Good and reliable service. It makes you feel like you are in good hands. Too expensive though, cost should be more reasonable.
The process does require a significant amount of information including uploading a portrate photograph of yourself and a photograph of your main passport page. You should have these to hand before you start the process.
Many online applicatiom forms have issues when filling in data especially from images so I was pleasantly surprised when photos of myself and my passport worked perfectly.
They stood with us until we can get it right and finally I figure it out thank you guys so much for having patient with us God bless
