New Visa Applications Forms (VAFs)
from visa application website
IMPORTANT ADVISORY
New Visa Applications Forms (VAFs)
From 29 October 2007 onwards, applicants wishing to apply for a UK visa must use the new Visa Application Forms (VAFs). These new forms are free of charge and will be available by 29 October by clicking on the "Application Forms & Guidance Notes" link on the left side of your screen. You need to fill in only one of the forms depending on what type of visa you want to apply for. The guidance Notes will tell you which form you should fill in and give advice about additional documents you need when making your application.
Applicants are advised that the old VAFs will be accepted only until 9 November 2007.

If your applying near a deadline for a change i would write an Email to the Embassy just to clarify how it might affect you. I had to do the same when we applied as they had a sudden change with little warning.
The Emails helped clarify a few points and ensure we were doing the correct thing.

Had a quick skim of the form i see it has a lot about the sponsors work details and if they have a 2nd job or income and employers telephone number reads like they are going to do more checks to justify the costs.
Looks fairly similar and hopefully easy to fill in

The links in http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/applicationforms.aspx are not working. I think it's because
of the mistyped \. It should be a / instead. I was able to download the PDF files when I repleaced the \ to a /.
Example:
Original URL: http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/images\VAF4.pdf -- NOT WORKING!
Fix: http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/images/VAF4.pdf -- WORKING!
How to correct it manually?
Copy/paste the URL, right click on the link, then select
Copy Link Location
Paste the URL into your web browser's addressbar
It should look like http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/images%5CVA...ANCE-NOTES.pdf
Remove the %5C after images, and put / instead.
Press enter, and the document should appear if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader!
