With effect from Monday 5 March 2012 all UK visa applicants need to complete the visa application form online. Manually completed applications will no longer be accepted
At the same time, you are also required to make an online appointment to attend a visa application centre to submit your application. The only exception is if you would like to make an appointment to use Premium Lounge, Fast Track or Prime Time facilities. You may do so by separately requesting an appointment according to the guidance for use of additional services http://www.vfs-uk-in.com/additionalservice.html
Please print a hard copy of your visa application form on good quality paper and bring this, together with all supporting documentation, to your appointment at the visa application centre. Please note that once you have completed your application form online, only small manual amendments to this form will be accepted for submission at the visa application centre.
To apply for a UK visa and schedule an appointment online please go to http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/ApplyNow.aspx
General information for all appointments
Please print the email confirming the details of your appointment, and bring this with you to the visa application centre you have chosen to attend.
You should reach the visa application centre 5 minutes before your appointment time.
The appointment must be made in your name. Another person cannot attend your scheduled appointment.
When you attend the visa application centre, you will need to provide your biometric information, which includes a photograph and a digital scan of your fingerprints. If you have temporary injuries on your fingers, please wait until the injuries heal before your appointment date. You should also remove any henna on your fingertips, or allow it to fade, as this may prevent us from getting a clear scan.
Every applicant who is submitting a visa application must attend the visa application centre in person. Children under 5 years need to attend, but are not require to provide their biometric data. Children under 16 years need to be accompanied by an adult and this cannot be a member of VFS staff.
Note: You cannot book an appointment by visiting or telephoning the visa application centres unless you are applying to use the Fast Track, Prime Time or Premium Lounge facilities. |
