UK Visa

By Juemshuve

Hi everyone,

I am planning a family trip to UK at the end of September. Can anyone tell me how to obtain a Visa first?
I would also welcome travel tips.

Travel packages don't include visa and I find them expensive. I want my trip to be less expensive and enjoyable.

Thank you

--- or print form and submit in person?

if I go without appointment do i really have to wait in line for so long?

what happens during the appointment, just the biometrics or is there an interview?

my husband and a i are planning for a week-long stay at gatwick so he can take his licensure exams. so we're going to apply for a visit visa.

have you guys heard of Ambers Guest House in Gatwick? I just saw it online. Any feedback would be appreciated. Or do if you can advise any cheap but nice boutique hotel near gatwick that would be great :)

thanks a lot!!!

Go to the VFS office which is near to KEO consultants (airport juction) collect the application form.

Do let me know where you going in the UK as I had been there in the month of MAY. London is a tourist paradise, everything is conveninetly location near the oxford street, I had stayed at the Marble Arch hotel.

once you are there just take any of the bus companies, Big bus company do check on the website. Cost about GBP 22.00 per head, chlidren below 5 yrs are free.

If you need any more info let me know.
