A high-level outline of the procedure is as follows:
- Your visit to the UK’s purpose will dictate the type of visa you’ll need. Many other kinds of visas are in circulation, including those for tourists, students, workers, and families. Finding the right visa category for your travel can be done by visiting the official UK government website or by consulting with a visa counselor.
- The second step is to fill out the online application form on the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) website. This is after you’ve decided what kind of visa you require. The rejection of your visa application could be the consequence of inaccuracies in the information you provide, so be careful.
- The third step is to collect the necessary paperwork. The documents you’ll need to submit with your visa application will vary in form. Documents required for your visa category may include your passport, two recent passport-sized photos, evidence of sufficient cash to cover your UK stay, details of your trip plans and accommodations, and maybe other relevant documents.
- The fourth step is to schedule an appointment at a visa application center (VAC) in Pakistan. This is after you have finished the online application and collected all of the required papers. The UK Visas and Immigration website or the VAC can be used for this purpose. At your scheduled visit, we will collect your biometric information, including your photograph and fingerprints, as well as your application form.
- When it’s your scheduled appointment, bring the original and a copy of all necessary documents. When you go in for your appointment, have any extra questions regarding your visa application ready to answer.
- The application fee for the visa must be paid when the application is submitted. The visa you’re applying for will determine the exact amount of the fee. You can pay at the visa application center, through bank transfer, or online.
- Once you have submitted your biometric data and visa application, you will have to wait for a decision. Please ensure that you apply at least two weeks before your planned travel date to account for processing times, as they can vary. Using the reference number you were given when you applied, you can check on the progress of your application online.
- You will get an email or text message notification when your visa application is processed. After submitting your visa application, you must retrieve your passport from the same location where the stamp was applied. Before you fly, double-check that all of the information on your visa is accurate.
