British tourist visa guide 20 18 how to apply for a British visa?

Friends who travel to Britain must have a visa before they can apply. Now Bian Xiao will tell you how to apply for this visa, and there are some things you should pay attention to when you apply for it.

The UK visa application fee for two years is 85 pounds (about 732 yuan), which is the same as the current six-month visitor visa fee. It is suitable for visa applications such as tourist visits, business visits, conferences or business visits.

Step 1: Stamp the entry and exit records on the passport. The British visa is a difficult level. It is suggested that the white passport should not list Britain as the first target. In fact, European and American countries should not try. Many cases of blood forest tell you that it is easy to be rejected ~

White children can go to a new Matai, South Korea and other places first. Generally, it is more reliable to apply for European and American countries after they have an entry and exit record with several stamps. Of course, don't go to some epidemic countries.

If you have had several overseas experiences, come on, Britain is waiting for you!

Step 2: The visa application materials are ready, and now the formal application is started. Material preparation is the most critical step in formally applying for a visa. According to my personal experience, I have made the following list of specific materials for your reference. Every time I apply, I will print out this list and complete it one by one. I will prepare a large file bag and put all the prepared documents in it. After all the items have been checked, you can go directly to the embassy with the file bag.

In particular, the British Immigration Bureau said that all English translations should be notarized, but every time I translated them myself, I didn't stamp them. Such materials proved to be no problem.

1. Original English Employment Certificate, stamped.

It is best to use company stationery to indicate the company's address and telephone number. Indicate your personal information, passport number, income and travel date. There are many templates on the Internet. The key is to get your boss to sign and stamp.

2. Copy and translation of the company's business license or organization code, preferably with official seal.

There are templates online, which are easy to find according to specific documents. Copies and translations should be stamped with fresh stamps, but it doesn't matter if you forget to stamp them recently.

3. Original, photocopy and translation of the household registration book.

Generally, it is necessary to copy the translation home page and personal information page. You can copy and translate other people's materials if you don't bother. Hukou book translation, there are templates online.

4. Original, photocopy and translation of marriage certificate.

Married people also prepare their own marriage certificates, and there are templates on the translation website.

5. Bank statement for the past 4 months, bilingual, with bank seal.

Banks generally have this service, tell them directly to apply for a visa, and they all know it. Typing must be done in both Chinese and English, which is generally free.

6. Bank deposit certificate, more than 50,000 yuan, bilingual, with bank seal.

Generally, they will be frozen for more than two months after returning to China, and they will directly tell the bank to apply for a visa. They all know. Bilingual, with bank seal. Generally, 20 yuan.

Other property certificates, such as real estate, cars, stocks, etc. I didn't deal with them because I either didn't or I was too lazy to deal with them. Theoretically, it's all extra points.

7. Travel plan

According to the travel date, make a daily schedule plan, which is a plus item. British people like planning. Show your passport number and sign your name on the agenda.

8. Air ticket reservation form

You can book air tickets on Ctrip, and you can print the reservation without paying. The British Embassy encourages you not to make any payment before your visa comes down, but in order to show sincerity, I usually make an air ticket reservation form.

9. Hotel Reservation Form

Pay attention to the hotels that can be cancelled and print the reservation form directly. Generally speaking, it is best not to pay the hotel and air ticket fees before the visa comes down.

10. Invitation letter

If you have friends, relatives or client companies in the UK, you can ask them to send you invitations. Generally speaking, inviting British nationals or enterprises is a plus item. If it is invited by a non-British passport holder, unless it is a relative, it is just an ordinary friend and classmate relationship. Whether it is a bonus item is unknown.

If there is a personal invitation letter, you need a scanned copy of the inviter's passport. If it is a non-British passport, add a visa page.

1 1. Original passport and copy of personal information page.

Make sure the expiration date is more than half a year before your return date, and there are more than 2 consecutive blank pages.

12. Online Application Form

This has actually reached the third step, but it is also written in Checking.

List, because this item is also a material that must be brought. After filling in, a PDF will be generated and printed directly. Don't write anything on it. When you get to the visa center, they will tell you what to fill in and how to fill it out.

13. proof of payment

When you choose the address of the visa center, you need to pay the fee before making an appointment to send the visa. You can use AliPay, which is very convenient. The payment status will be directly reflected in the PDF automatically generated after the application form is completed.

I used to need photos, but I don't need photos when I applied recently.

Step 3: Apply for a visa online, log on to the website of the British Visa Immigration Office and apply for a visa online.

You can choose Chinese and English here, and all questions are translated in Chinese to help you understand correctly. The visa type of ordinary tourists is standard tourists.

Visa, the two-year visa I said is also this type. Choose this type for 2 years.

The questions in the online application form can only be answered in English. Because there are many questions, it is the first time to fill in. It is recommended to arrange two hours to answer slowly. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it all at once. Each application has an email address and password, which can be saved and logged out, and then you can go back to the original application and continue to fill in. You can modify your answers before sending them.

After filling out the application form, you will be reminded to pay directly, and then choose the visa center to make an appointment for delivery. The delivery time can be changed 24 hours ago, and the PDF will be updated automatically every time the delivery time is changed. The latest version needs to be printed before delivery. You can't change the time within 24 hours, but you can cancel the interview, which means the application is invalid and the visa fee will be refunded. If you don't cancel, but you can't

Show, the fee is non-refundable

Step 4: Delivery of Visa Centers At present, Britain has visa centers in China 15 cities, including Beijing, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Jinan, Kunming, Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Wuhan and Xi 'an, and they are expanding every year.

On the day of booking application, bring all materials, arrive at the visa center 15 minutes in advance, and pay attention to bring your passport and another valid identity document. It's no use arriving early. They let people go strictly according to the agreed time and didn't let them in early. What if I'm late? Well, I was late once. It's time for my next date. Let me in. Sure, try not to be late. When you arrive at the visa center, you will get a phone list, wait patiently for the phone call and submit the application. Keep the receipt as evidence of future information.

Once the application is submitted in the visa center, it will be impossible to supplement or modify the materials again. The materials submitted at the time of application will serve as the only evidence for the trial. The visa center is not an embassy, but only collects materials. No matter whether your materials are complete or not, you don't check whether they are correct. Just ask me every time if I want to leave the original, which will increase my credibility. If you choose to keep the original, it will be returned to me with your passport. I usually leave the original.

After all the application materials are received, the staff will let you choose the way you want to get your passport. You can pick it up at the visa center or choose EMS express delivery. I usually choose express delivery or invoice.

Step 5: Biological Information Collection After choosing the passport collection method, the last step is to collect fingerprints and take photos at the visa center, which is biological information collection. Every application needs to be re-collected, including digital fingerprint scanning (10 fingers) and digital photography.

Fingerprint scanning uses an electronic scanner, and it is necessary to ensure that there is no any form of decoration on the finger (such as henna dyeing, knife injury, wear or other traces). Digital photos must cover the whole face, except sunglasses and any colored lenses, and there must be no obstructions on the head, except for religious and medical purposes. The face must be clearly visible, and the eyes are not covered with hair. If you don't provide biological information, you will not be able to accept the visa application.

Up to now, all visa application processes have been completed, so wait for good news! If there is anything you haven't said, welcome the old driver to contribute ~

It usually takes 2-3 weeks to get a visa. It is best to apply for a visa 2-3 months before you travel, which is also beneficial to your travel arrangements. If you successfully get a two-year visa, you can really travel to Britain ~
