Take it easy!!
*double check all your documents
*wear comfortable and presentable clothes
*be early

[malditako]

bring any valid ID aside from passport ...nothing to be nervous about as they will just be handling your paper to the british embassy...just make sure u got all the necessary papers and be on time but sometimes being late makes a lil advantage...goodluck

With regards to ID ive got student driving licence and a postal ID aside from my passport. Is that enough?

And why is it being late makes a lil advantage?
would they still let you in?

[bornatbirth]

just have everything you need and be on time, so you shouldnt have to worry about it.

why not get there early and have a nice drink before and relax in a cafe nearby

hmmm...thanks bornatbirth!
Ive just thought about that..come early and have a hot drink.

[bornatbirth]

do you live in manila and have your trip planned, just have plenty extra time so you dont need to rush and why not find a nearby mall and window shop

DON'T be late, if you are late and miss your appointment time, you may have to join the queue for walk in appointments

Always check the website for the up the to date fees, as it was changed on the 05 July to £1 = 74 Php http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/visafees.aspx

Hi ... my wife just submitted hers a few days ago!

If you don't have an appointment, you can only walk in and be seen 7am-8am....

oh, and don't make the mistake of going to mcginley hill in Taguig ...you'll be redirected to the Ecoplaza in Makati

all that aside ....


All the best

You will be in the same position as my wife for a little while now ... hopefully they both come back positive very soon

No. I live 5 hours away from Manila so i be leaving on thursday so i can still have time to rest.
i will be asking my auntie to take me there by her car so its more convenient for me...with that heavy folder full of docs? Jesus!

Thanks James! Got the address now so auntie knows where to drop me off.
I know the feeling as ive felt this before but this time is worst. It really is a torture in mind!

I hope your wife gets her visa soon.
All the best for the both of you!

she will be fine with that i am sure , i have no way on here to send you her number ....

[Arthur Little]

Try to remain as calm and relaxed as possible, Clarice ... the VFS staff are friendly and helpful ... honestly! And all the very best with your application this coming Friday.

I have submitted my application this morning at VFS and it was really quick. It only took about less than 20 minutes. I arrived at Ecoplaza around 7 AM and decided to be a walk-in applicant (it's quicker I think) than to have an appointment or maybe it just happened that only few had to submit their application today.
I was nervous too and didn't sleep much last night
I just had my appetite for breakfast right after I submitted my application.

[liane]

You'll be fine Clarice, just check and arrange your documents according to the list from VFS

[rani]

not to mention that all in the VFS counter are filipinas.. need not worry my dear.. congrats in advance

[stevewool]

hi there clarice my advice before you go is , go to the loo dont drink to much water too, and relaxe are you meeting emma afterwards , if so dont let her spend to much

those IDs were fine..juts u need to leave one ID at the guard in the lobby or they wont let u in....was late 15 mins as i dont have any valid IDs with to leave at the guard so have to sort out things for the guard to let me in...there's one boot inside the VFS who only serve applicants with late appointments...it was pretty quick compare to those who was there on time as they called their names 30 mins late than their appointment time...just need to inform them u be late a few mins....that was my experience can be different to others..goodluck to u

[pennybarry]

You might want to bring a light jacket. It's a bit cold especially if you're going to wait a while longer to be called

best of luck to you

Hopefully we will meet up!
