Sorry but I am not so familiar with paper applications. I think the only difference with online and paper application is the mode of payment. You must supply a bank draft from NCB and organize all your paperwork accordingly.

Tips: Make a table of contents so that the VO can easily locate any documents supplied.
Do not forget to provide an original copy of each of your documents
Make an explanation letter if there is any discrepancies
Submit a complete application package to save time and get the result the soonest possible time


Best of luck!

Hi efazilian,

Your posts are really helpful ..
If you don't mind, I have two questions that are confusing me ...
First: Should I go for Online application or through the Visa center VFS in Khobar ... it is near me and they said that the estimated processing time is 3-4 weeks ,, but I can see from your timeline that online applications are fast as well.

Second: When you applied online, it was just scanned copies of the originals, right , then do you know if I'm applying through visa center, can I also provide scanned copies or it has to be originals?

Finally, how do you submit your passport with online application??

Is there any way I can submit the police certificate with my application, before they request it ?

Thank you in advance :)
