Hi


I am currently trying to fill the visa application form . We are residing in India. My husband has got his single permit and we plan to apply for the visa together .

Is there anybody who has done this recently from India and can connect with me ? I have a few questions about the visa application questions .



or is anybody aware of any Vfs service for assisting with visa application form ? Please let me know


thank you

Just an update :

I and my husband both received the visa . He received in 4 working days . I had a missing days so took 7 days .

I had to submit the missing document at Vfs center .

This experience is wrt to Vfs india .


1) We cannot book more than one appointment from Vfs website at once .We were getting an error that no appointments are available . So we booked two consecutive appointments for the same day . One for 8:30 am and other for 8:45 am

2) when we walked into Vfs we informed that we want to process our visa together

3)We can submit multiple applications. Carry the print of application that you want to submit at Vfs . If any mistakes in the application , you can correct it manually and counter sign it

4) Vfs did not really have any application filling service . But we clarified about few fields we filled were correct .

5) I as a dependent submitted my original medical ,apostille police clearance , birth and marriage certificate at Vfs . They were returned to me along with the passport after processing .

6) my husbands passport was processed in north India and mine was in south India . We applied from Vfs Bengaluru/ Bangalore . He was asked to submit any address proof of south India so our applications can be processed from Vfs South&west india jurisdiction ie Mumbai .
