Here's a good news for all you planning for a visit to the UK. Applying for a UK visa just got so much easier as now UK visa applicants can digitally upload documents before paying a visit to the Visa Application Centre. All you need to do is to submit documents online and simply walk in with your passport. And it's not just application forms, but also booking appointments, fee payments and other convenient services. Prior to this, one had to apply for a visa via two portals--Gov.UK and VFS Global. Now, the new system is made available at www.gov.uk.
