I think that's the embassy number Amy?

[Bluebirdjones]

Yes, that's the actual Embassy, which only "mans" the VISA desk for 2 hours per day.
Otherwise they refer you to the VFS site ..... hence the problem.

But appreciate the help

But most people outside wants to call they are using tht one... you cannot call the TRUNK line outside and tht the only number you can use...

Other wise let your fiance call from here...

I hope you don't mind to ask,why calling VFS ?

[Bluebirdjones]

... I'm calling VFS to clarrify a couple of points re: fiance application form

And also to confirm price (now) of visa.
The 20% move in the Forex rate means I now pay close to £600 !

Obviously the British Embassy could answer, but the 2hr window a day (open 5am -7am GMT) does cause problems.

VFS MUST have a local number ... it's just not on their website.

(Sorry guys/girls.... all the paperwork for the visa is ready, my docs just arrived in Davao... and I WANT it to succeed without problems.... Anxious I guess)

[Mrs.JMajor]

OK,I have here a local number of British embassy eh,so you right it was VFS concern to about the visa fee

Good luck Jones

Bluebird Jones,

I remember someone posted a number here (in the last few months) for contacting the VFS. I also remember, in a frantic rush in December, calling the VFS to confirm a rearranged appointment.

The two numbers on my Mobile Phone Bill for December are

006328582398
006327593556

Hope this helps.

I will say, though, that the best way is to get your fiance to call from there. 32 pesos a minute is a downside, but you get more help and assistance.

[Bluebirdjones]

Much appreciated.

I'll take note ... but yes, easier if she calls.

Thks matey

While looking for a contact number to call the courier that they use (www.2go-express.com.ph/products/courier.asp), I came accross a reference number for UKVACS (+63 2) 751 3750.

Have not tried to call it so not sure if its correct.
