The date of application is the date you submit and pay online, as is clearly stated in the Immigration Rules Part 1.seagul wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 1:43 pmIn past when premium service centres were operating then the date of application was the day when you attend the appointment. I don't think that date of application will be the date when you pay & submit the application online rather the day when you attend the appointment where they enroll biometrics, scan documents and submit the documents. In my opinion you must book appointment before the expiry of your visa even at different location where they have earlier appointment with fee.
