PBS Dependant Application - Has the application link been updated?

[thevar]

Hello Admins and Experts,

*** First and foremost, apologies if I am posting this in the wrong channel. Please advise if I have and I will immediately remove this post ***

Can you please advise me on the correct link to use for extension of PBS dependant visa within the UK? I went to this page: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/ ... d-children

and from there I got this link:
https://apply-to-visit-or-stay-in-the-u ... ner_out_uk

I ask this since a few months ago (in Jan/Feb this year), I started to draft the application using a then-existing form. That form (i still have access to the draft webform) seems to have a completely different look and feel compared to the one accessed on the link above. The questions match to the tune of 99% compared to the form in the link given above. The form given in the link above gives me the convenience / option of connecting my application to the UK Immigration: ID Check app which can read my BRP and take my photo, etc. I assume this is so that I don't have to travel to a UKVCAS center for Biometrics appointment.

All the above is just a speculation and assumption in my mind - I just want to check if things have changed in the last 2 months and whether I should now be re-drafting my PBS dependant visa extension application using the link I have given above?

Thanks in advance for clearing my confusion

The new approach using the mobile phone app without the need to attend appointment has been extended to Skilled worker applications for a few months now. The applicant can still go back to the traditional way if they select they don't have compatible mobile phone, which is why your form is still valid. It's up to you if you want to take advantage of the new approach.
