N O T I C E

Starting 16 July 2007 applicants without appointments may only attend the office on Mon to Fri 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This is being introduced to assist in the processing of applications and reducing waiting times at the application center. We recommend all applicants for a UK visa make an online appointment to attend the office and lodge their visa application.

To make an appointment, simply follow these 2 steps:

1.
Pay your visa fee either by

Paying CASH over the counter: Obtain a fee receipt from any branch of Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of Philippine Islands, Banco De Oro and Metro Bank. Please carry a photocopy of your passport data page when you go to the bank to pay the visa fee. You can book an appointment online on the next working day from date of payment.
