Hi everyone

Im off to india for 4weeks with 3 friends in march and we all need visas.

Ive been having a look at both in.vfsglobal.co.uk and indiavisa24.co.uk and was wondering which one most people use?

does anyone have any advice on which is the easiest?

Thanks in advance

There is only one official site.

VFS, exclusively, handle the front-desk paperwork for the Indian High Commission in UK. Any other agent has to to take or send your application to them anyway.

VFS is not an agent. It is an outsourcing operation that handles visa issues for a number of countries all over the world, and, some time ago, the Indian High Commission closed down its public visa counters and gave the job to them in UK.

Please ensure you do read the VFS website (http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/index.aspx) prior to sending your applications off. Many people have encountered problems, mostly due to incorrect informatation submitted, sending applications to the wrong VAC etc. Also read this thread.

Applying for an Indian Visa in the UK: Your Questions and Experiences

There is plenty of information and advice given here.

No, you don't, but things will happen very much more quickly if you do do it in person.

At this point, we should pack you off to the thread Mike mentions in the previous post --- just check out the last ten or twelve pages.
