Why the system of UK visa application so confusing? and what is your experience with VFS UK in Minato-ku office?

I am a filipino citizen who plans to apply Standard Visitor (UK) visa here in Japan.

I am sooo confused about what i am seeing online.

It seems like I need to apply using VFS global. And then I need to create an account in VFS global but i can only see their login page for those who already have reference number and password, there is a link below for new user, go to [gov.uk](https://gov.uk) website.

And then in [gov.uk](https://gov.uk) website, there is no link to register as a user. I can only see “check if you need a visa” questionnaire and then after completing that, theres no link to actually proceed. It keeps on going back [to this page](https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor).

When I google the application form, [there is this result](https://www.pdffiller.com/jsfiller-desk10/?projectId=6302d177ebd5c35f60270bda&lp=true#9a0c85108f8c48778d07508b2e81353f)

So i am really confused what I am supposed to do?

fill up the pdf, print and go directly to embassy? or to VFS global in Minato-ku?

Also, i’ve seen these reviews

saying they just send documents in Manila.

So should I just apply in Manila?

What did you guys do? Please enlighten me…
