 as long as this is the correct Embassy I wouldn’t be they work on the date you travel apparently.

So just keep checking they don’t require more information.

Best of luck.

 yes, it is correct embassy. When applying we were asked residence country and we had to upload proof of address. As we have been living in ireland for 9 years we don’t have residency in Croatia anymore. I hope it will come soon as I am panicking a bit now 😬

 I always have but I’m sure others say you don’t need it.

My flight was 90 days later as I will apply for 30 day extension that was ok.

 ty . I wanted to travel onward to malaysia for a month or 2 so do you think it would be OK to include outward bound flight to malaysia instead of return flight to London. Apologies for all the questions but first time applying for visa and not very good on computers so wanted to try and get it all correct .

Hi
@Paul ******
 would you be able share with me which order they put your name on the visa approval Cert? I applied for mine in November an recieved the approval but it seems they put my name in the wrong order, I did email them right away to make sure it was OK but I haven't had a reply and i fly out on 31st, so i was a little worried incase they don't accept it at immigration on arrival.

London is very fast for new passports too. I submitted my renewal through VFS in Chiang Mai on 9th October. They told me it would take 11 weeks. On 20th Oct they called me and said I could come and collect my new passport.
