Submission of UK Visa Application Documents. Following recent changes made by the Home Office, it is now a requirement that you submit your supporting documents for your application for a UK Visa to VFS Global in person for scanning. This can mean a costly and time-consuming trip to London. Thai Visa Express can make this easy for you with our new courier service for scanning of UK visa application documents. For a fee of just £200, we will take your documents to London and submit them on your behalf. Our operative will wait at the scanning office, collect your documents afterward and ensure they are returned to you via Royal Mail. For further information contact our UK helpline 07988663646 or use our contact form.
