There is a charge of £59 to use the Visa Application Centre in Bishkek. This will be in addition to the visa fee and will be charged at the point of booking the online appointment and will cover the cost of providing the application submission facilities in Bishkek.

Once the UK visa application is submitted in Bishkek the completed application, which will include all supporting documentation and the customer’s passport, will be forwarded to the Decision Making Centre in Istanbul by commercial courier, where they will be considered by Entry Clearance staff.
