Applying for a Visa outside of the UK, here are some key requirements you’ll need to keep in mind:

Translation Needs

• Any documents not in the official language of the country you're applying to will usually need to be translated professionally.
• We can assist in arranging certified translations—these are signed off by qualified translators to ensure accuracy.
• Translations should include a certification statement, the date, your translator’s signature, and contact details.
• Commonly translated documents include your passport copies, birth and marriage certificates, financial statements, employment letters, and academic records.


Legalization and Apostille

• Many countries are part of the Hague Convention, meaning your documents may need an apostille stamp to be recognized abroad. • We can help you get your documents apostilled through the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). • For countries not part of the Hague Convention, documents might need to be legalized at the embassy or consulate.


Other Important Documents

• A valid passport (with at least 6 months validity beyond your intended stay). • Completed visa application forms. • Recent passport-sized photographs meeting specific requirements. • Proof of financial stability, like bank statements or sponsorship letters. • Travel plans, including flight bookings and accommodation. • Evidence showing your ties to the UK, such as employment or property ownership. • Medical or health documents, vaccines, and COVID-19 test results if required.


Additional Tips

• We recommend starting your preparations early to ensure smooth processing. • Always check the specific requirements from the embassy or consulate of the country you're applying to—we can assist with that, too. • Be prepared for application fees and possible interviews at the embassy or consulate. • Allow ample time for processing, which varies depending on your destination and visa type.
