"What do I need to make my application?


Your passport or travel document;
The application forms VAF9 and Appendix 1 with all mandatory sections completed;
The fee as published on the visa fees page on this website. This cannot be refunded and you must pay in local currency;
Your biometric details (see below);
A recent passport sized photograph (please note that photographs should measure 45mm x 35mm and be:
in colour taken against a white background;
clear and of good quality and not framed or backed;
printed on normal photographic paper;
full face and without sunglasses, hat or head covering (unless it is worn for cultural or religious reasons but the face must not be covered)
(If the application is successful, the photographs provided will be reproduced on the visa vignette).
All documents as specified in the Tier 1 (General) Policy Guidance as stated in the Immigration Rules. If you do not submit relevant documents, your application is likely to be refused as we will be unable to award the relevant points.
Important!
You must be able to demonstrate that you have funds to support yourself and any dependants. For the main applicant this is £2,800 with a further £1,600 needed for each dependant accompanying you or planning to join you within 12 months of your arrival in the UK. These amounts must be held in your personal bank account for a minimum period of 3 months, for which you must show bank statements/other evidence immediately preceding and dated no more than 7 days prior to the date you submit your application. The balance should not fall below the required minimum at any time during the 3 month period. See also the Maintenance part of the question below telling you what documents you will need to include with your application.

What are my biometric details?

Biometric details are scans of all 10 fingers and a full-face digital photograph. You will need to provide your biometric details in person. The whole procedure should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Your visa application will not be processed until you have met this requirement. More information about biometrics is available on Biometric data collection for visa applicants page on this website."






Has anyone sent in their biometric details with the application?

Thanks.

You dont send them with the application, you make an appointment to have your fingerprints and photo taken when you submit the online application. You attend the appointment (which takes 2 minutes) and then post in your application forms (with passport photo attached) and supporting documents.
