The essential documents to obtain a UK visa are as follows:

Great Britain is no longer part of the EU. Ukrainians who have a biometric passport need visa to visit this country. If you have a visa to the UK, it will be possible to visit Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales and even Ireland but with some conditions. A visa to the UK is one of the most difficult to obtain -even if you make only a small mistake in filling out an application form or selecting documents, you can get a refusal.

Avisa specialists will help you to increase your chances of obtaining a visa and help you prevent  unnecessary mistakes. During 8 years of our work, we have helped clients open a visa even in the most difficult cases.

How to get a visa to the UK

  • Decide on the type of visa.
  • Complete the visa application form online on the website of the British Embassy. In the application form it is necessary to enter truthful information about yourself, about your income, loved ones and so on. The visa application form must be filled out for everyone: children, adults, and elderly people. The application form can be complex for some people, and you may not know how to answer. Also, in an additional field you should describe a detailed plan of your trip; what places you will visit, where you will stay (in a hotel or a private home), for what period of  time and so on. If, in your situation, there are issues about your visit, they should be entered into the visa application form.
  • Pay the consular fee.
  • Collect a package of documents and translate them into English.
  • Submit documents. There are two ways to do this:
    • with the help of assisted service - a paid service of the UK visa center, whose staff will help download your documents online.
    • By self-service - for those who can independently understand how to submit their documents online or apply to a visa agency, which can also help. This is free.
  • Sign up for the submission of your biometric data to the UK Visa Application Center.
  • At the appointed date and time, you must report to the UK visa center with your passport and the first page of the printed visa application form if you have chosen self-service. If you choose assisted service, you need to bring with you a full package of documents and translations.

The procedure of fingerprinting and filing documents (if required) is very simple and takes 30 minutes. There is no interview. The standard time for reviewing documents by the embassy is 15 working days. If you need an urgent visa, you must pay an additional fee of 270 euros, in which case the documents will be reviewed in 5 working days.

A visa is issued for either 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, or 10 years. You may request the time you want for the visa, but when deciding, the embassy may issue a visa for less than your request.

A n approval of your visa application does not come to your email address. The result will be sent to you through the mail, and you will get the answer only after opening the envelope with the passport. In case of a refusal things are different. In most cases, the decision about a refusal comes to a personal mail electronically. The letter will describe in detail the reasons for the refusal and when it is possible to reapply.

To obtain a visa to England, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Decide on the purpose of the visit and type of visa
  • Prove that you have enough compelling reasons to return to Ukraine
  • Prove the financial ability to pay for a trip, as well as on-going income
  • Collect, translate, and submit documents and fill out the visa application form

We strongly recommend NOT buying flights and hotel rooms before your visa is approved.

Obtaining a visa with a passport without travel history

The travel history in the foreign passport is a   positive factor in the decision of getting a visa. Your travel history will confirm your financial and tourist reliability. New passport holders need to save all old passports that have been stamped from previous trips. If there is no travel history, it will be necessary to focus on other confirmation of the ties to the country of residence.

Time for obtaining a visa

It is advisable to submit documents 2 months in advance, because:

  • It takes the British Embassy  15 working days to review your documents, sometimes the review of documents stretches for longer,
  • your documents will be reviewed after you give your biometric data
  • Fingerprints (biometric data) can be taken only by appointment and the queue for which can be a week in advance.

Ways to get an urgent visa to the UK:

  • Use the emergency review service. In this case, your documents will be reviewed in 5 working days and in addition to the consular fee you will need to pay 270 EUR
  • You can also use a special service of the Visa Center, which allows you to take fingerprints on any working day without a queue, and without a prior appointment, which also saves time. For such a service, you will need to pay an additional 2500 UAH.

The list of documents for applying for a visa to the UK:

  • An international passport (current and old passports).
  • A photocopy of all pages of the internal passport.
  • Confirmation of flight and hotel reservations.
  • Documents confirming income - a bank statement for the last 6 months, the current balance on the account, a statement from the place of work or study, etc.
  • Documents confirming your attachment to the homeland,
  • Confirmation of the purpose of the trip, such as an invitation from relatives or friends, or a business invitation, the itinerary of the trip, etc.

Important! The British Consulate can request additional documents from the applicant, for example, a tax certificate, etc. The current list of documents in your case can be checked with our consultants or on the official information website of the United Kingdom public sector.

Why a visa to England may be denied

The most common reasons for being denied a visa are:

  • errors in the application.
  • providing inaccurate  data about yourself, your relatives, etc.
  • planning to visit  relatives in the UK who have not legally entered the country.
  • not enough money.
  • there is no attachment to the homeland.
  • no prior evidence of proper use of a visa to another country (mainly for tourist and guest purposes). 

The likelihood of obtaining a visa is also influenced by the visa consul's subjective view of your situation meaning that  in each applicant they see a potential illegal immigrant. Documents on the composition of the family, certificates from work, or ownership of real estate will help to obtain a visa to the UK.
