Payment at office

[happi.ocholloh]

When paying at office do they use they chip and pin machines?

Is it possible to pay be telephone before hand

I was expecting to pay online and dont have my pin

... a very worried person now....as there are no more appointments

If you don't have a pin code, you can go to your bank with your card and cheque book alongwith proper identification and ask them to issue you a banker's draft payable to Home Office UKBA.

Banker's draft in lieu of payment is accepted by UKBA.

the problem is that bankers' draft is not acceptable 'ON THE DAY' at Glasgow PEO, this is only possible if you send this at least 6 days before the appointment, together with a payment form

I dont think thats the case, do you have a URL which states banker's draft is not acceptable at Glasgow PEO ?

Can you not ask one of your friends to lend you their money and card for a day?

I am fully with gretnadawn on this.. I have seen it for myself as I'm applying from Glasgow PEO.. I preferred postal order (to be very safe) but that's not accepted there.. Next preference was bankers draft but it needs at least 6 working days before appo (appeared hasslesome to me.. moreover I didn't have so much time).. At last, I will be paying by credit/debit card..

Note that you can get your friend/relative to pay for your fees.. but check the policy/guidance on that.. as far as I remember, that person have to authorize it personally but only the applicant is allowed in initially.. so not sure how it works out when payment is reqd to be made..

All the best..

scrapper, at all other PEO's b.draft is acceptable ON THE DAY, but at glasgow & Cardiff, it is not, only by post (with a payment form), at least 6 days before application

Just spoke with the guy in Glasgow
Apparently its not Chip N Pin, they take the form and process it that way. So apparently panic over

I applied for visa extn from Glasgow PEO in 2009; I used my debit card then but cannot really remember if I was asked to feed in the Pin (I had to fill card details in the appl form for sure).

Thanks for sharing the info. I would be applying for ILR at Glasgow PEO this week and pay by my debit/credit card. My bank's CCare (also branch staffs) are acting weirdos this time (misguded me saying several contradictory things when I called them for informing them about the transaction in advance and that it should not be blocked for fraud checks). To be safe, I was thinking of keeping my other bank's debit card as fallback option but I don't remember it's pin.. so, the info you supplied can be really handy..

Cheers.

if you are applying for ILR in Glasgow, you can send a bankers draft or cheque to them beforehand,(to save possibility of d/c not going through), but it has to arrive with UKBA payments office AT LEAST 6 days before your appointment, and has to have the downloaded payment form with it.
when I downloaded the form last week, it was still stating the old fee, so I rang them and after having a word with the supervisor, the lady said it would be changed, and what do you know, it has been...somethings can be done quickly after all...!!!
all the best with your applications all of you
