Paying online for visa application

[lastlid]

Yes. We applied in September and I looked into that every which way, but there was no way that I could pay electronically. I was also worried about my wife carrying so much money. In the end she simply had to collect it from Moneygram and carry it to the nearest Union Bank. She took her sister with her, just in case and picked a Moneygram close to a Union bank.

She didnt have to travel to Manila, just her local Union bank. And kept the receipt for VFS.

Why one cant pay, as an option, the UKBA directly by card, here in the UK, I just do not know. Amazing.

If one had a bank account with Union bank then maybe it would be a lot easier......
