Required Items/Steps Checklist

No visa required for US Citizens for a stay up to 6 months.

All documents submitted for UK work visa applications must be original.

Passport Requirements:

Original, signed passport valid for 6 months beyond stay, and with at least one blank visa page available for visa stamp(s).

British Visa Application Form:

One visa application form per applicant. Please note: The Consulate of the United Kingdom has introduced a web-based visa application form. Applicants must follow the step by step instructions and pay visas fees online.


Important Information:

Upon completion of the application form, the applicant will be prompted to schedule an appointment to submit biometric information. This biometric information consists of scans of all 10 fingers and a full-face digital photograph. The visa application must be submitted no earlier than 24-36 hours after and no later than 2 weeks after biometric submission.

 

From March 27th 2015, United Kingdom Visas and Immigration (UKVI) will be making changes to the visa application process for children under the age of 5 years applying from within the USA. Children in this category will now be required to attend a biometric appointment to have their photograph taken. Fingerprints will not be required.

 

This change will bring the enrolment process in the United States in line with that currently in place across the rest of the world. This policy change is designed to protect children and safeguard against identity theft. Captured images will be printed on visas and used to produce Biometric Residence Permits, where applicable.

 

Self-Assessment Points Calculator: This form will help determine if you are eligible for a UK work visa. You must fill out this form and submit a printed copy along with any UK Work Visa Application. If you do not have sufficient points on this Self-Assessment Points Calculator, your application is likely to be declined.
