Make an appointment for a UK visa.
After scheduling your appointment online, print the email confirming the specifics of your appointment and bring it with you to the UK visa application facility you’ve chosen, together with the necessary papers.
The documents that must be presented in original must be submitted in original. Check if the papers are correct because even a minor error can create a lot of problems. Please keep in mind that the appointment must be scheduled in your name, not someone else’s.
