METV London processing time. Applied via the website on Tuesday 17th September 0700 hours. Approved Sunday 22nd September 1930 hours. That’s 6 days, well pleased with that.
Info uploaded; PDF showing return flight from London and also two return flights during this stay to other Asian countries. PDF showing all accommodation booked via Agoda. PDF showing utility bill and TV licence bill.
Note that when I made the payment the website showed an error, however when I checked the visa card statement at my end, I noticed that the payment was pending and actually it did go through, so just be aware that this could happen to you and don’t panic if you get an error message.
Next step is to set up a GoFundMe website to pay for this lot - joking.
