How can an Indian citizen get a visa to England/ UK?
Unless you are able to use an online service such as iVisa, the process for an Indian citizen to get a visa to England/ UK seems very drawn out and complicated. It seems as if you must first procure the proper application papers, which you can download from UK visa applications, and then you must be ready to pay the fee specified here, and then you must collect the necessary supporting documents, and then visit a VFS Global office to receive a biometric finger scan and submit your application.
