As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. Getting the travel history section correct used to take me ages — it was quick here. I was in and out of the VFS centre in under 20 minutes because my paperwork was tidy. I had friends warn me about common mistakes and none of them showed up here. Honestly one of the least stressful bureaucratic experiences I've had. Minor nitpick: I wish the dashboard loaded a bit faster.
