Simplified procedures for UK visas

20 13 10 15, the reporter learned from the British consulate general in Chongqing that the consulate has not yet received the specific timetable for implementing this policy, nor has it obtained the list of designated travel agencies.

George osborne, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced a series of measures to simplify visa procedures for China tourists visiting the UK. Among them, only one European Schengen visa application form is needed to apply for a tourist visa to the UK through a designated travel agency.

It is understood that the specific measures announced by the British side include: allowing some designated China travel agencies to submit only the European Schengen visa application form when applying for a British visa, instead of two separate application forms. These designated travel agencies will not need to submit different applications repeatedly when arranging tourists to travel to Britain and Schengen; The new 24-hour "super priority" visa service will be implemented from next summer, so that applicants can obtain visas in a shorter time; We will expand the scope of "VIP on-site visa service" successfully implemented in Beijing and Shanghai to the whole of China.
