As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. I appreciated that the support chat replied within the hour on a Sunday. The officer at the embassy barely asked any questions, which I took as a good sign. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. Support answered a quick question about bank statement translations in minutes. 10/10 from me. The only small thing โ I'd love a dark mode.
