spouse visa application - who has to be present at embassy?

Upon applying for a spouse visa and subsequently booking an appointment at the local embassy, does applicant have to be accompanied to the appointment....or can the applicant go by themselves?

many thanks

Hi keloid

Since its the applicant who is applying for the VISA, he/she needs to be there to hand in the application. Biometrics will be done on the same time as well, as far as I know. However it is not a requirement to accompany the applicant to the VFS offices to hand in the paperwork for the VISA application.

Many thanks - exactly what i was thinking - don't suppose anyone else out there can confirm this?

Only applicant needs to be present, the application is for just the one person.
