visitor visa info for"Visa National" countries for UK
Well you have to start paying to get some information on visas if you want to phone the embassy up in Oz! So to save a few bucks...... I am in Oz and would be doing a tour of Europe and would need to be in UK for around 6 days. What sort of visa do i have to get ? Also can anyone let me know how long it is currently taking to get such a visa in Canberra ? Cheers -- soum Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

Once your application is lodged online, you just send in or take your passport, photos, supporting documents and fee (around £36)to Canberra. They usually try to issue a straightforward visitor's visa within a few days, and usually same day service if you go in person. But you must have all the documents required, like bank statements, travel plan, evidence that you will leave the country at the end of your visit (job, education, commitment at home etc). Alec |

Try visiting the ukvisas website. It states that most people who are
not intending to work, and who wish to stay for six months or less, should get a visitor's visa, and that this is usually issued within 24 hours of application. soum wrote in message ...

If you need visas, you will probbaly need one for the Schengen area (Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Norway), and one for UK. For Schengen, you apply to your main destination country, or if that cannot be ascertained, country of entry to Schengen. http://www.ecdel.org.au/eu_guide/faqschengenvisas.htm and http://www.ecdel.org.au/eu_guide/faqsvisas.htm For the UK, follow through http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/ and the interactive 'do I need a visa' should tell you if you do and what sort. According to the Visas FAQ linked from the British High Commission in Aus at http://bhc.britaus.net/About_the_UK/...ult.asp?id=379 Applications are taking between 3-4 weeks to process at this time. Canberra also offer a same day, priority service, provided all documentation is in order and you do not have an adverse immigration history. If you do not submit all required documents, your application will be delayed. Owain |
