Visa Application Process

Having filled up the forms online and printed them out, we set an appointment with VFS MY for 0915 am on 1st April 2009. Security was tight going into VFS office but that's expected and once inside, everything was very smooth. Someone at the counter checked all our documents to ensure we've got everything that's required.

Then it's biometric scanning. Basically finger prints of all the 10 fingers and a photograph. There's an option to get SMS updates which cost RM6. The 1st update I got was, "Your visa application has been forwarded to the British High Commission".

Now we just wait. According to the lady at the counter, the turnaround time is around 5 to 15 days.

We'll see.
