Do we need to use this barcode separator if the sponsor(in UK) is sending original + photocopies of documents to Sheffield by post within UK? or
Is it for just someone who is submitting documents to VFS global visa centres?

Thanks

BritInParis

If you are applying from Hong Kong then you will need to submit your documents via VFS in the same fashion.

actually my sponsor is submitting some of the documents related to sponsor in Sheffield and I will be submitting documents related to applicant (me) such as application forms, TB test, my passport, and photos etc in Hon Kong.
is it okay? because I have read lots of people are doing this.

BritInParis

You can try it - I don't know how successful it will be.

What is a Barcode separator and does it apply to all applications?

BritInParis

It is for supporting documents which are scanned and sent electronically to Sheffield for processing. Depending on where you are applying from it is likely to apply to all new settlement applications.

I'm applying from Canada, Edmonton to be more specific 😁.first I am hearing of this and now I'm in panic mode lol

BritInParis

If they're required and you don't have them I would be very surprised if the VAC didn't provide them.

Is there any place I can contact to find out for sure? Thanks for replying 😀

BritInParis

It's not currently listed as a requirement on the VFS Global website for Canada. Until such time that it is I would suggest it is safe to assume it is not a requirement or if it is then the onus is on VFS to provide the barcode separators.

Thank you BritInParis 😄 I can stop freaking myself out thinking I missed a step in the process

Are you done submitting your documents? I just submitted mine yesterday and done with the biometrics. Barcode separators are being provided in UK Visa Centre HongKong.
