sussex Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi, I've completed the online e-visa application and now need to post my passport to the embassy. However, there are no instructions on this and the phone lines are jam packed. I will send my passport special delivery guaranteed by 1pm. Do I include the same envelope for the return? Or just normal tracked pre-paid? Or just a self-addressed envelope and they will send it back special delivery? Thanks for your advice, I'd prefer to be able to track the passport's return if possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussex Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Ah, I have figured it out. I couldn't find the confirmation of application on the e-visa site because it required scrolling horizontally. The confirmation states that I should include a return Special Delivery envelope.

Or £10 cash and they sort it for you. I found this out the hard way! The E-visa site / website needs to be simplified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VBF Posted September 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) In the past (pre-Covid) I have frequently sent in my application and included a Post Office Special Delivery envelope, very carefully self-addressed before packing it all to go in another similar envelope addressed to the Embassy. I usually just scan both the completed envelopes so I have notes of the tracking numbers on both envelopes so I can check to see if the application's arrived at the Embassy, and then later can check when the passport's on its way back to me.

I will let you know how I get on. Not very far I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using the current system you do have to send it to the embassy. If the new stickerless one is being used by the embassy or official from September 27th it would all be done online.
