Hi guys, does anyone know if the form itself is also needs to be photocopied, or just the supporting documents?

Can't seem to find any answers online. I't's the paper form and it will be a postal application.

I don't really want to scan the whole form and print it again unless I have to.

You don't need copies of documents if you are applying by post.

Thank you for the response. No photocopies at all? Only the application form with original supporting documents? If that's the case, it will save me the afternoon!

Should I do it anyway if it makes their life easier?

HO scan your documents in when you apply by post and then return the originals to you at some point.

Photocopies are required usually when you apply in person.

Thanks, I may still do it, just in-case, for whatever reason. But that makes sense, thanks again.

On the Set(m) form Section 12 Documents it states:

Unless stated, they must be originals. You should photocopy each of these documents and provide the copies in addition to the originals.

It'll be nice if I didn't have to photocopy every document as you say.
So by post the only copy needed then would be the sponsors passport?
