OK. The saga continues. Some feedback (for those unlucky enough to follow me!) and a question.
I sent hubby in with my visa application this morning - including the letter from the company in India (eventually) and a letter from my company (actually my APEC support letter with "APEC card" changed to "Indian visa"... so it covered the usual stuff about needing to travel and the company meeting all expenses etc etc.
Rejected.
It required my company support letter not to say "Indian visa" but "multiple entry Indian visa". They also wanted my BR for the company and a copy of the page of my passport (even though they get the whole passport anyway).
So I edited my letter, printed out the BR and the front page of my passport and resubmitted.
Rejected. Again.
This time they wanted the photograph (which was a high quality digital photograph) printed on "photographic paper" not "normal paper" even though the blasted thing was required to be PASTED onto the form and thus the type of paper being utterly irrelevant. And they wanted a copy of my UK passport even though I ticked that I only had one nationality on the form.
So by then there was no time to resubmit and I will have to do it tomorrow. So, I went to the MTR and did the "passport photos" in the booth, but I notice now I get them back that they are not the specified 2 inch by 2 inch photos required. QUESTION ... has anyone had a "normal" passport photo rejected for this visa? And if so, where did you get them done eventually?
I find it really hard to believe that any country has such a convoluted and frankly idiotic visa application process! Its not like I'm moving there, only going for 4 days!
Oh - and they require ID card copies too, which is also not specified anywhere, but luckily I guessed that one and put a copy in anyway.
