Important notes

Please read the information on this website very carefully to make sure that you bring in all of the correct supporting documents.  You must bring in the original copies of each document, plus a photocopy for our records.  Your application may be refused if your supporting documents are incomplete.

As part of the biometric visa process, all visa applicants are required to give their fingerprints at the High Commission when they submit their application.  Only children under 5 are exempt.

You should arrive no more than 15 minutes early for your appointment, and no more than 15 minutes late.  If you are later than this time your appointment is likely to be cancelled and you will have to reschedule.  Applicants without an appointment will not be admitted into the Visa Section.

Due to security and space restrictions, only the visa applicant will be allowed into the Visa Section, unless they are under 18, in which case they may be accompanied by one family member or friend.

No luggage, large bags, mobile phones, cameras, or laptops are allowed into the High Commission.  These items should be stored in the lockers provided outside before entering.  Briefcases and handbags may be taken in, but you should expect them to be examined beforehand.
