Detailed Application Steps
Step 1: Complete Personal Information
The first part of the application requires your basic personal information:
- Full name (as it appears on your passport)
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Nationality
- Contact information (email and phone number)
It's crucial that all information matches exactly what's on your passport to avoid processing delays or application rejection.
Step 2: Passport and Travel Information
Next, you'll need to provide details about your passport and travel plans:
- Passport number
- Issue and expiry dates
- Country of issue
- Planned arrival date in the UK
You'll also need to upload a copy of your passport's biographical page. The image must be clear, with all four corners visible, and show all the information clearly.
Step 3: Upload Your Photo
A recent digital photograph is required for your UK Visa application. The photo must meet these specifications:
- Taken within the last 3 months
- Clear, in focus, and in color
- Plain, light background with no objects or people behind you
- Looking straight at the camera with a neutral expression (no smiling)
- Head, shoulders, and upper body must be visible
- No glasses, hats, or head coverings (unless for religious or medical reasons)
Step 4: Answer Security Questions
The UK Visa application includes several security-related questions that you must answer truthfully:
- Employment status
- Criminal record information
- Questions about involvement in terrorism, war crimes, or extremist activities
Providing false information on these questions can result in your application being refused and may affect future travel to the UK.
Step 5: Review and Submit
Before finalizing your application:
- Carefully review all information for accuracy
- Ensure all required documents are properly uploaded
- Read and accept the terms and conditions
- Acknowledge the processing time requirements
Once you're confident everything is correct, submit your application and proceed to payment.
Step 6: Pay the Application Fee
The final step is to pay the application processing fee of £79. This fee is non-refundable, even if your application is denied.
Payment can be made using major credit or debit cards through our secure payment gateway. After successful payment, you'll receive a confirmation email with your application reference number.
