- Who Are We?
VFS Global is a commercial company, working in partnership with
UKvisas and the British Embassy here in Ukraine providing services
to help people apply for UKvisas.
- How Can We Help You?
You will find information on this site, supplied by UKvisas, about
how to apply for a UK visa, if you need one. From this site you
can also use our free e-mail service to obtain the same information.
We also offer a telephone information service, which costs UAH
6 per call/minute.
Information about the UK immigration rules and policies can be
found on UKvisas website (www.ukvisas.gov.uk).
VFS also manages Visa Application Centres for UKvisas here in
Ukraine, where you should submit your application, your biometric
finger scans and pay the visa fee. The address details of the
VAC can be found in the Contact Us section of this website.
- Where Can I Get Advice?
Our staff cannot give you advice on how to complete your application,
or what type of visa you should apply for. If you need help with
your application, or advice about the UK immigration rules and
requirements, you should ''seek advice from a professionally
qualified immigration advisor. In the UK these are either solicitors
regulated by the Solicitors
Regulation Authority (SRA) or immigration advisors registered
with the Office of the Immigration
Services Commissioner (OISC). You will find on the website
of the professional association, the Immigration
Law Practitioners' Association, a Directory of its members
including solicitors and OISC regulated advisors.'
In the UK, the Office
of the Immigration Services Commissioner keeps a list of registered
immigration advisers.
- Who Decides If I Will Get A Visa?
Your visa application will be processed and decided by UKvisas
staff. Neither VFS, nor any of our staff, play any part in or
influence the outcome of your visa application.
If any member of our staff claims to be able to influence your
application, you should inform the nearest British diplomatic
mission as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: Please note that following the guidelines of
the British Embassy, it is mandatory to complete and submit your
application form and schedule your appointment online prior to
submitting your visa application. All applicants are required
to come in person to submit their visa application. Applications
not submitted online/submitted in person will not be accepted.
The passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date
a visa application is submitted.
Please provide a photocopy of your foreign passport when submitting
your application to the UK Visa Application Centre.
The visa fee applicable to the visa category being applied for
needs to be paid at the Visa Application Centre in hryvnas in
cash.
