Welcome to the homepage of the United Kingdom Visa Application Centre's
website
- Who Are We?
VFS Global is a commercial company, working in partnership with
UKBA and the British Embassy here in China providing services
to help people apply for UK visas.
- How Can We Help You?
You will find information on this site, supplied by UKBA, 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 47
RMB per call/unlimited.
Information about the UK's immigration rules and policies can
be found on UKBA' website (www.ukvisas.gov.uk).
VFS also manages Visa Application Centres for UKBA here in
China, where you should submit your application, your biometric
fingerscans and pay the application fee. The address details of
the VACs can be found in the Contact
Us section of this website
- Where Can I Get Advice?
VFS and its 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's immigration
rules and requirements, you should seek advice from a qualified
immigration adviser. In the UK these are immigration advisers
regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner
(OISC - www.oisc.gov.uk)
or legally qualified professionals regulated by designated professional
bodies. Their websites are:
Law Society
of England and Wales
Law Society
of Scotland
Law Society
of Northern Ireland
Institute of
Legal Executives
- Who Decides If I Will Get A Visa?
Your visa application will be processed and decided by UKBA
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.
