Trying to do this alone from El Oued was a lot harder than I expected. I realised from their guidance that I needed an updated insurance policy with the right coverage. The VFS staff commented that my file was well-organised. Honestly felt like having a patient friend walk you through the process. The interface is clean and doesn't bury things behind menus. I actually felt confident walking into the consulate โ that's a first. Can't recommend it enough.
