Hello…

Has anyone applied for the usual tourist visa recently? 

I’m looking to do it in London (I’m British) and wonder if it’s better to physically go to embassy or to try to process online.. any insights would be appreciated! 🙏

You need to apply online, it's an evisa. Very easy to do.

In Denmark it is not possible to apply via embassy anymore, but I find the eVisa website to be much faster and more efficient (took me 3 days) compared to normal in office (1-2 weeks)

London uses the evisa system so all applications are done online. You don’t go to the embassy and you don’t get a physical visa in your passport, just an email confirmation.
