From this date, the British Embassy will also be collecting biometric information (electronic fingerscans and a live photograph) as part of the application process.

This means that all visa applicants will need to attend the new Visa Application Centre in person to submit their application form, pay their visa fee and have their biometrics taken.

The Visa Application Centres will be open from Saturday - Wednesday, 10am to 6pm.
