Max Evi Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hello, I applied to the London embassy, i live in birmingham. I sent my visa by post using special delivery last thursday, it arrived friday morning at 10. I included the VISA FEE and an extra 10 POUNDS for return delivery as requested on their site. However, on the same day i read online that they waived the fee... will i still be charged? Also, how will they return it? will i receive a tracking code..? I applied for single entry tourist visa with 3 month validity. I tried calling and emailing with no replies, so im now posting here... if you need more info let me know Thanks.

ubonjoe Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 You should have it by the end of the week. They were closed yesterday for a Thai holiday so that would delay it a bit. Not way to track it as far as I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrisonf123 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) I sent mine to London on Wednesday and got mine back today if that helps :) You'll get all your money back as the Visas are free at the moment :D EDIT: I think you are supposed to include a stamped envelope for them to send it back (That's how I got mine) Edited December 13, 2016 by Harrisonf123 Clarification 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Real Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Just wait a few days. It will come for sure. Done it my self, and never had a tracking number. Edited December 13, 2016 by Get Real 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, nice to see i'll get the money back haha. Did they give you a tracking code prior or anything? or u just waited and it came? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrisonf123 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 @Max Evi Yeah I had a tracking code from Royal mail on my return envelope (I pre stamped it with special delivery) I don't imagine they give you one if you didn't though! I chucked the tenner in too just to be sure but got it back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chucked the tenner in too just to be sure but got it back nice , yeh i shouldve probably done that too... also what time did it arrive? and which visa did you apply for? it should be the before 1pm right? since the before 9pm special delivery is about 20 pounds. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hope it turns up this week as there is a five day postal strike next week :-( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgroper2 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I am lost for words. How could anybody possible know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandG Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) There is NOT a 5 day postal strike next week.There is a strike by the staff of the Crown Post Offices. These are the big Post Offices in High Streets, where the staff are direct employees of the Post Office, as opposed to those little Post Offices inside other stores, such as WH Smiths. it does not affect postal deliveries.
