Hello everyone,
Just for the benefit of those who are yet to get PPR or are yet to submit their Passports to VFS, I will explain the process which I completed today -
I visited VFS - Mumbai office today. You can walk-in during the prescribed hours from Monday to Friday. We had carried the following:
1. Our original passports
2. Photos as per the instructions. Though our photographs had address and date handwritten by our photographer, we gave them the photo cover (envelope) too
3. Print out of the PPR email with the form duly filled out
The whole process was over in exactly 20 mins. We had to pay Rs. 579 per person. They have given us an acknowledgement reciept which has our tracking number. They asked me if I would like to collect my passport or have it delivered. I preferred to collect it myself, as I and my spouse are working and there would be no one to collect it. In fact, since I am planning to go out of town for a few weeks, they informed that I can authorize my parents or a friend to collect it provided they have an authorization letter from me and my spouse.
So, overall my experience was very good. Their staff was very professional and helpful.
Hope this helps ;D ;D
I have also submitted my Passport at Mumbai VFS
