Hi, first of all my heart reaches out for all those who are attempting this covet visa. People often complain this visa route requirements are too vague and hardly any solid guidance avIlable on type of documentation to prepare. I agree and I have been through that difficult phase while I was preparing to apply for it. Here is my time line if anyone is interested to know:12 April 2016 : Requested my peers to provide recommendation letters (4 letters in total)23 May 2016 : Got all four recommendation letters. More than month because my peers were too busy and I had to visit Malaysia for personal reasons.02 June 2016: Prepared my cover letter and CV. The most difficult part of the process. Selling yourself as a potential leader is not an easy task so it takes days to write. Remember you need to do it in boundary of 7000 words. Don't waste your time requesting for the grant of endorsement and showing unnecessary politeness. Always remember you are a leader and your getting endorsement is a reciprocal arrangement between you and the UK. Its a highly profitable deal for both of you so it has to be sheer professional.29 June 2016: Send all documents more than 55 pages excluding CV, Cover letters and recommendation letters.6 July 2016: My application reached Tier 1 processing team and HO collected payment.10 July 2016: Got email from the case worker, stating that I sent too many docs for criteria. Advised to bring it down to 10 supporting docs. I argued vigorously, stating that TechCity guidance while mentioning 10 docs rule, uses word "should" and not the "Must" so it's a recommendation and not compulsion. She in return advised me to refer to HO guidelines for the tech visa and damn it uses "Must". At That point very first time, I learnt this bizarre fact that HO guidelines and TechCity guidelines are not the identical one though not so much different. Having shown my place, now I was in a fix to choose and discard documents to meet the magical 10 rule. Took me two days to sort it out.12 July 2016: My application pack sent to TechCity with only 2 recommendation letters extra 2 which I sent were buried in HO file.Now painful and agonising period of wait starts. I had rough calculation in my mind that of 25 wkg days somewhere around 9 September.28 July 2016: Got endorsement approval letter from HO, less than 13 wkg days! Even fast track takes 18 wkg days02 August 2016: Applied for entry clearance at BDHC Mumbai through VFS BKC standard processing that is 15 wkg days.18 Aug 2016: Received vague email from BDHC stating "Your application is processed and a decision" has been made". I was out of Mumbai and required to travel.for 12 hours to reach VFS. God knows how I spent that time with lot of thoughts. So much advices on internet forums on how to decipher these vague emails from BDHC to know if your visa is approved or not. According to the observations of those so called experts, mine was a clear cut case.of rejection and that further pushed me in worries.19 Aug 2016: Receive my docs and passport. Visa was approved. But wait! My BRP letter said that I have been given 5 years leave which was not ok as for entry clearance it should have been 5 years 4 months. So what should I do now? Leave with it? Or try to get it corrected. There could be no Admistrtive review if your application is not refuse overseas. So I made a simple application to ECO pointing the error and mentioning the guidance published on 6 April 2016.24 Aug 2016: Got a call from BDHC, that they realised the mistake and I needed to submit my passport again for the correction. So I did the same.25 Aug 2016: Got a call from BDHC again to collect my passport..Bingo! My old vignette was crossed with "Cancelled without prejudice" stamp and new vignette was issued with new BRP letter.6 September 2016: Flying to London for good.Moral of the story: Don't ever visit any immigration lawyers, they can't do a thing. If you have a talent, then you will get this visa no matter what. Folks at TechCity and BDHC are honest and impartial. Just stick to the rules and guidance, don't lie, be brutally honest, don't beg, act like a leader and you will get your visa. Feel free to ask me anything for help. And once again, believe that you, yourself can prove your talent better than anybody else. All Immigration rules are available in public domain. All related guidance, appeal decisions, judicial reviews, Independent Chief Inspectors' observation and advise reports to UKVI are also available, should you need to go through admin review. I have so.far gathered 100 docs in case if required but again, the whole process employed by UKVI is honest, impartial and transparent do chances of genuine mistakes are slim.

The International Driving Permit (IDP) is in multiple languages and the list of countries are mentioned within. Once you apply and the submit the Docs, you will have the IDP in your hand in 4–5 hours (as long as you have got it Med Cert signed from before). This is my experience (from 1-Aug-’18) without an agent, learning the hard way.You will first need to apply, upload the required documents and pay Online.Procedure:Go to Parivahan site > Online Services > Driving License Related > Select your State > Apply Online > Services on Driving LicenseOnce you have updated the forms, you can get the print out of the Form 4a. (IDP form) and Form 1a (Medical) which would be Pre-filled with your info. You will now have an application no. which you can use anytime to come back to the site and upload documents and do the payment. I got my Form 1a filled and stamped from my doctor. You can then scan and upload the below list of documentsMedical Certificate - Form 1a.(filled by Govt. Doctor)VISA or Relevant (If Visa on arrival, etc., upload Ticket)Driving LicensePassportYou can then proceed to do the payment (Rs.1000 + transaction charges).Once done, you will need to physically go to the RTO to submit the documents. For RTO Tardeo - its the last window [G6], right in the end. The applicant must be physically present at the time of submitting. Process is quick and queue is almost zero.Below are the things you need to carry4 passport size photos (Used total 7)Form 4a.Form. 1a.Original and copy of PassportOriginal and copy of Driving LicenseOriginal and copy of VISA / TicketPrint of Payment receiptPrint of Acknowledgement of Application formAn additional piece of form which I got from the window or probably an agent will have, which you’ll have to fill with DL and Passport info.Once submitted, they will ask you to get some signatures and then you can submit it back and that’s done. You or anyone can come later (the same day) and collect it from the same window, no receipt or anything needed.P.S. The IDP is only valid for 1 year
