UK Visa Applications To Be Filled In Online Mode

Applicants and their dependents who are applying for a UK Visa will need to make their applications online from March 5. The UK Board Agency will no longer accept manually completed application forms from that date onwards. Applicants will then need to print off a hard copy of their application form and make an online appointment to attend their nearest Visa Application Centre (VAC).

They should bring the application form printout to their appointment at the VAC, along with the necessary supporting documentation. Applicants will need to give their biometrics (Finger scans and digital photograph) at the VAC in line with current practice.

The Regional Director of UK Border Agency (UKBA) Thomas Greig, said “We have been introducing the use of online applications gradually so that customers are able to get used to the process. Customers already need to make online applications for Visas under the points based system. We are now extending the requirement to all categories of UK visa applications.
