You only print the declaration form that you have to sign. The rest is done online.

It's really not difficult and you can't go wrong. It's also cheaper.

^^^ Do think about doing this.


Do you have someone who can sit with you and check your application as you complete it? Just to set your mind at rest?
If you weren't so far away, I'd come and do it with you.

We used to do that with our Indian visas - me inputting, OH checking every word and number as I did it and then we'd recheck together before moving on to the next page.

And believe me - THAT was stressful.

You already have the paper application form and the online form will not ask you any different questions.

So do you all advice me to apply for it online instead of a foam? is it much easy and less stressful? I don't need help filling it in as I can read haha, just a bit curious if online is easy the foam? I will have to go to Library and do it as I got a new desktop PC but I don't have a printer to print it out at the end when I done it and where do I send it when I done it online?

The online form is easier. If you don't need to do a section it automatically skips it.

You can even part fill it and come back to it later. Instructions on what to do are easy to follow. It will tell you exactly where to send the declaration to.

Oh, that sounds like it's much easy then foam, I will give it a go online then, I won't do it yet as I need to wait for at least a few more weeks as I am giving my parents birth certificate and marriage certificate a head start delivering as if I do it online now, my time would have run out by the time they got delivered as I believe once you printed it out, you only got to send it by a month and then if you haven't sent it by then, then you got to fill and pay £80.00 again.

I have been told that if you apply online, it will cost more because you would need to pay for the passport when online is filled in, but what if mistakes happen on the online filling and you print it out and if any mistakes and you send it off and it will get rejected and you got to apply again and obviously you need to pay another £75.00 for a passport again, that's why it cost more if you do it online, unless I am wrong? sorry, I am new to applying for a passport haha.

Whoever told you this is talking utter rubbish. Doing it online works out about £20 cheaper than going through the check and send route.
It’s easier to complete as it prompts you every step. If there’s anything missing, HMPO will write or email you. You won’t get charged again once you have paid. The whole examining process, providing you have submitted the correct documents, will take around a week or two. You will then receive a letter asking you to make an appointment for you interview. It’s a very informal chat to ensure no one has stolen your ID and tried to get a passport in your Name. Nothing to worry about. The only thing that stops you getting a passport is not providing the correct documents to prove you are a British citizen

You have 90 days to send in your declaration and documents

If you want foam, then Ibiza is I believe a better choice than Benidorm....
