As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. I uploaded my passport scan and it pulled in my details correctly, saving me retyping. I was in and out of the VFS centre in under 20 minutes because my paperwork was tidy. It's not flashy โ it just works, which is exactly what I wanted. Far better than the official PDF that crashes half the time. If you're nervous about the forms, just get this. Slight feedback: a downloadable checklist PDF would be perfect.
