Trying to do this alone from El Alto was a lot harder than I expected. Going through the checklist for a Iceland visa specifically (not a generic one) made all the difference. I was in and out of the VFS centre in under 20 minutes because my paperwork was tidy. Far better than the official PDF that crashes half the time. The calm tone of the explanations made the whole thing less stressful. Best money I've spent on admin in ages. One tiny thing — clearer progress bar between sections would help.
