UK Visa - Pay by Credit Card in Manila???

[RickyR]

Is there a logical explanation as to why the UKBA in Manila wont take "plastic" online for payment for visa applications?

Well this is what I don't understand. Because the form essentially is the same one as I've used for applying in Muscat and on the same website. So it really seems odd why paying by credit card isn't an option.

In a way I am surprised that we couldn't pay my for my wife's spouse visa in UK pounds to some place in London. Seems so odd. I realise that they have to pay VFS for their services and the Manila based staff, but why cant the fee be simply paid (as an option) in the UK......
