Changes to the UK Visa application process in Slovenia
On 26 March 2014 our new commercial partner Teleperformance Ltd took over the running of the Visa Application Centre in Ljubljana.
UK Visas and Immigration’s new commercial partner Teleperformance Ltd have now taken over the running of our Visa Application Centre in Ljubljana. The Visa Application Centre has moved to
Regus Business Centre, Trg Republike 3, 1000 Ljubljana
In addition we are making the following changes to the visa service that we offer:
-
From 26 March, opening hours will be once per month on a Wednesday (26 March, 23 April) from 09.00 – 13.00 and fortnightly thereafter.
- User Pays charges. There will be a charge of £59 to use the Visa Application Centre in Ljubljana. This will be in addition to the visa fee and will be charged in Euros using the consular rate of exchange prevalent at the time. This charge covers the cost of providing the application submission facilities. Applicants must register on the Teleperformance Website, after they have booked their appointment, to pay for their appointment slot and any further additional services required. Prior registration with Teleperformance will also ensure your application is processed quickly.
