VISA - UNITED KINGDOM

From 1 March 2008 the British Embassy in Moscow, and Consulates General in Ekaterinburg and Saint Petersburg will only accept visa application forms which have been completed online (www.visa4uk.gov.uk). Applications not completed online will not be accepted at the Visa Application Centres.

THE APLICATION PROCESS CONSISTS OF TWO STEPS:

Step 1 - Complete an application form

Go to www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk and fill in an online visa application form. A separate form must be completed for each applicant. After you have completed the form you will get a reference number for your application like GWF000000000.

Print out your application form and sign it.

Attach one recent colour passport-sized photograph. It should be:

• 35 x 45 mm taken against a solid light background
• Printed on normal photographic paper
• Full face without sunglasses, hat or other head covering unless you wear this for cultural or religious reasons

Please note that we may not accept photographs that do not meet these specifications. Details of the photo specification are available.

We will email you a list of supporting documents that you should provide with your application after you have submitted the online form.

Step 2 - Book an appointment

Having completed the online application form, you will be prompted to book an appointment to submit your application. You can either book the appointment at this stage or log in at a later date to retrieve your application. You can also print the application form at any time by logging on to the same site. 

SUBMIT DOCUMENTS:

• Your passport or travel document
• Printed online application form with one photograph attached
• The visa fee (Rubles in cash)
• Any supporting documents relevant to your application
