You must pay by one of the methods specified below. • Cheque (postal applications only) • Postal Order (postal applications only) • Credit card - Visa (including Electron), MasterCard or American Express (Amex) • Debit card - Delta, Maestro* (including Solo) • Banker’s draft (payable to the Home Office) (postal applications only) * Maestro - we will only accept Maestro cards issued in the UK .

Hi Howerd thank you for the link I read this already ...what I want to know if you can submit your application and documents 10 days or 5 days before your visa expires by postal..
Thank so much trimmers..my visa expires 15 of December..so I completing all of my documents before I'm going to submit it..
I chose to pay by cheque. I was going to pay by card, but when I paid the NHS surcharge it was declined as a security risk so I had to call the bank to confirm it was me. So I thought that might happen again with the flr so wrote a cheque instead.
Thank s maharg, I will send it special delivery .. Is it ok to pay by postal order or it's better to do by cheque

The date of application can be at any time before the current visa expiry date and still maintain the current immigration status. Do be aware that the date of application varies according to the submission method used:- - By regular Royal Mail post it's the date of posting as indicated on the envelope - By Premium Service it's the date on which it is accepted by a Home Office premium service centre. - By courier or other postal services provider, it's the date on which it is received by the Home Office
Might sound obvious but you don't need to include a copy of the application form. Saves posting extra 74 pages I'd keep a copy of the application forms for your own records though. Don't forget there's a new FLR(M) application form issued November 2015
Hi everyone, just have a question, I’m planning to go on holiday in Philippines this coming January, but my first flrm visa expires on 3rd of March. Is it ok to travel before I renew the visa? Thanks in advance
