toryboy1979 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Let start out by saying I am not a computer wiz-kid but normally can deal with the internet. I wanted to find out what documention is required to apply for a UK tourist visa for my partner. I registered for an account as instructed - thereafter chaos. I received an email back from them saying the account was successfully registered and in order to unlock the account I had to click on the link provided. Did this and I was directed to something called the 'UK Migration Service' who provided an assessment which was positive and then given options of how much I would want to pay for whichever particular service I wanted. I Have no need of the UK Migration Service! Why do the the British Embassy/ Border Control Agency who after all control the visa service through VFS Global make it so difficult to get information. Is it any wonder foreigners are put off going to the UK when you have to jump through so many hoops!! Anyone know what I did wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm about to do it. I successfully did my previous GF's application in 2007, which was all by hand. I'm not looking forward to the online process... Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 toryboy1979, it sounds to me that you have registered with a commercial site, not the UKVI one! Use the link provided by phazey. You may find UK visit visa basics helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toryboy1979 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks everyone - sorted. Discovered the visa site did not like google so I went direct to the UKVisa site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
