UK Visa Application System

The United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA) operates a visa application system referred to as Entry Clearance (EC). Under the EC system, citizens from countries outside the EU must apply for a visa in order to live and work in the UK. The EC application must take place in the applicant’s home country or in a country that they are a legal permanent resident of. The application process includes a biometric interview where digital fingerprints and photographs are takes and recorded against the applicant’s profile.

Applying for a UK Visa

When applying for a UK visa, applicants should be careful to ensure that they have chosen the most correct category of visa applicable to them. Failure to do so can result in a visa being refused at the EC stage or cause complications at a later date if the applicant is trying to extend their stay or switch into another category of visa in the UK.
