I'm not great with forms, and the Schengen one was worse than any I've seen. I realised from their guidance that I needed an updated insurance policy with the right coverage. I was in and out of the VFS centre in under 20 minutes because my paperwork was tidy. I liked that I didn't have to create ten accounts across random sites to get this done. The calm tone of the explanations made the whole thing less stressful. A proper time-saver.
