Advantages: Fast, effective, not bad value Disadvantages: must be done online, more expensive than before, no same day service
...service to a company called VFS Global. This is a company that specialises in handling visa applications for various governments around the world. When they were first announced as the new 'only way to get a visa' for India, there was an outcry that people would have to pay a fee to VFS and further chaos was sure to ensue. I'd like to reassure readers that this isn't the case. ==Step by step to getting your visa!==
===Step 1. Go to http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/===
... ...need to go to the VFS site to get the paperwork. Read around the site because there's lots of information but it isn't always where you expect it to be. If at all possible DON'T use their premium rate enquiry number - it's ultra-expensive and it's unlikely that you can't find the information somewhere else for free.
===Step 2 - my suggestion is to go to the trip advisor website - www.tripadvisor.co.uk - and track down their forum on India. ===

Advantages: No advantages - much worse than before Disadvantages: any you can think of... more time, money, disappointment and hassle
...at the Victoria office from VFS global. I travel to India quite a bit as my wife is the Head of a large multinational and lives there at the moment. First of all they never give out visas for more than 6 months if your are a tourist. NEVER! Even If you are working there the max visa they will give out first time is 12 months, this is for the head of a multinational and then in our experience they renew for another 12 months what happens next I do ... ...transported to Italy - maybe VFS were involved with that also?)
We all need to complain about the incompetence of VFS Global and the Indian high commission. This is not an acceptable process.
I was told the reason the system had been changed was because the 'Mandarins' at the High commision did not like the common people - us! Making their offices dirty!!!! Maybe it was interfering with their afternoon tea service!!!**!! How inconsiderate of us ...
