Since their present visit visas have expired, I've just completed 5 year UK Visa applications online for my wife and stepdaughter here in Muscat. At the end of the application it allowed me to pay the visa fee by credit card, and then all that was left to do was make an appointment for them on the local VFS website to submit the biometrics.
Just wondering if the applications for Manila allow payment online by credit card yet?
Will let you know how it goes, but should be pretty straightforward as they've both had several UK visas before. The only thing that made me cry was the cost. :-(
