I remember the OP asking questions about traveling to Europe on a Convention Travel Document.

I am in the UK now and going to apply for visitor visa for my parents to visit me.
I am using the online application, so first wanted to make sure if I am allowed to do that, or is it my parents who should apply from back home. You can fill on their behalf.
Also, is the process for uploading the docs is same as normal in-country applications, like once you pay the fee, they ask you to create an account and you have some time to upload the docs ? Yes
also where does on the form it asks for visa duration. I want to apply for 5 year visa, but as far as I can see, the online application does not ask for it..is it after the declaration statge?
Thanks
While making first application and it get to the point of "will this person be going to UK with them" probably can link from there (not tried it before). If not then individual application will have to be submitted. The appointment you will get depends on availability and no guarantee that you will be able to secure same appointment for them. When it get to the stage see if you get 2 consecutive times and thereby block book.n8net wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 6:45 pmthanks for the reply.
any idea, how I apply both both mum and dad together so that they get the appointment at the same time pls?
As far as I can see, each person has to fill their own form, so if I submit one first and book an appointment, then no guarantee that other would get the same appointment right?
I wonder how others in same situation has done it...
Upload wherever you want. While the different sections are there, uploading all relevant documents is what matters.n8net wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 1:32 amthanks all.
one more question, when trying to upload documents (which I am doing to save money from VFS doing it for my parents), just want to know under which section their passport copies should be added?
The file upload is divided into several sections, but none relevant to applicant's passport.
I know my parents supposed to handover their passports at the time of their appointment at VFS when their finger prints are taken, but just wanted to avoid VFS charging them just for it, as I had already done most of the work and self uploaded all other docs just to avoid this and any delays.
also, I believe at this appointment their photos will be taken too ?
Didn't cine across it and its not needed.n8net wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 1:38 amalso there is a section for Tubeclosis, but I think it does not apply for visitor visa as it is less than 6 months..what do I upload for it..believe it may not allow 'finalising' the bundle until 'something' is uploaded.
anybody who came across this for visitor visa applications online ?
again asking this as I just want my parents to have pleasant experience at VFS, where they just go in, give passport and biometrics and come back without enduring any delays and paying money needlessly for VFS as I have heavily invested my time with application and self upload of docs..
HO and VFS knows the arrangement they have between each other and how they share the fees.
No other charges if you have not selected any other service.n8net wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 6:44 pmyes, my question was, if we pay the £684 for 5 year visa at the time of submitting online application and we do not use any additional services at VFS, still is there any service VFS can charge?
may be to take the fingerprints etc, or is that visa feel inclusive of those, stuff absolutely critical for visa?
My Brother Applied on 5th jan from Lahore, but still no email confirmation of for application dispatch etc.
