Step 1: Apply on GOV.UK

Start by completing your online application form at GOV.UK. Make sure to apply well before your intended travel dates to avoid any last-minute issues.

Complete your online application form at https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa.

Step 2: Register with VFS Global to Book an Appointment and Choose Services

Once you have completed the online form and paid the visa fee, you will be directed to register on the VFS Global website.

Here, you can upload documents online and choose from a variety of practical and optional visa services.

If you prefer not to upload the documents yourself, you can pay for the Document Scanning Assistance service at the Visa Application Center.

After registering, schedule your appointment with the VFS Global Visa Application Center.

Step 3: Review and Pay

After scheduling your appointment, you will be prompted to review, confirm, and pay for any additional services you have selected. Ensure all details are correct before making the final payment.

Step 4: Present Your Biometrics at the VFS Global Visa Application Center

Arrive at the visa application center 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Be sure to bring the following:

  • Confirmation of the appointment letter
  • Checklist of documents
  • Travel and accompanying documents (if not already uploaded online)

When to Apply for a UK Visa

The earliest you can apply for a UK visa is typically:

  • 3 months before your planned travel date for visitor visas
  • 3 months before the start of your job for most work visas
  • 6 months before the start of your course for student and child visas

For settlement applications, which can take up to 6 months to process, you must apply and get approval before traveling to the UK.

Ensure you leave the UK as soon as your visa expires if you do not receive permission to settle.

How Long Does the Decision Take?

The processing time for your visa application depends on the type of visa you are applying for. You might have the option to pay for a faster decision depending on:

  • The type of visa you apply for
  • How you apply
  • Where you apply from

Fees

Each type of visa has a different fee. Make sure to check the specific fee for the visa you are applying for. Note that every family member traveling to the UK with you must pay the same fee.

Pay for Healthcare

As part of your application, you will need to pay the healthcare surcharge if you are:

  • Applying for a visa to join your family, work, or study
  • Requesting to stay for longer than six months
  • Not making a permanent move to the UK

What if You Are Applying for Someone Else?

You can apply for a visa on behalf of someone else. For example, you can apply for your child or assist a relative who lacks access to a computer. In such cases, you must have the applicant’s consent.

If the applicant is under 18, you will need written consent from their parent or legal guardian. Remember to fill out the form with the applicant’s information, not your own.

Start With Us

Do you want to study abroad? Obtaining a bachelor’s or master’s degree can significantly improve your job prospects.

Although studying abroad can be costly, you can achieve your dreams without breaking the bank by applying for student loans, which can be paid back over a period of up to 10 years.

By following these steps, you can successfully navigate the UK visa application process without the need for a travel agent. Good luck with your application and future travels!
