Hello may be a dumb question;

I’m doing my PAL application and I only have a Visa Debit (don’t have a credit card), would I be able to put my VISA debit details under the credit card information?

They accept visa debit if you do it online. If you do it online, be sure to read everything they require (creating passwords/security code for your respondents etc.)

It's a lot faster, be sure to have all your peeps info (address, phone number, email) The email is important because they will send a link for them to approve being respondents, once they do, you will receive an email of confirmation (one for each step). It's almost instant. My wife and my friend went on, approved and 2 seconds later I got confirmation.

Make sure they are ok with the process though and that they have time to do it within 10 days (their links will expire).

You are welcome!
