Providing biometric information and supporting documents
When you apply, you’ll be asked to make an appointment at a visa application centre to have your fingerprints and photo (biometric information) taken.
You’ll also need to submit your supporting documents. You can:
- upload them into the online service
- have them scanned at your UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (UKVCAS) appointment
You must not travel outside of the UK, Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man until you get a decision. Your application will be withdrawn if you do.
Once you’ve applied you can stay in the UK until you’ve been given a decision, as long as you applied before your last visa expired.
