Visas for the UK
Where can I get information?
UK Border Agency and the British Embassy work in partnership to provide a visa service here in Belarus.
Where can I get advice?
Our visa section staff cannot give you advice on how to complete your application, or what type of visa you should apply for. If you need help with your application or advice about the UK's immigration rules and requirements, you should seek advice from a qualified immigration adviser. In the UK these are immigration advisers regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner or legally qualified professionals regulated by designated professional bodies. Their websites are:
Law Society of England and Wales
Law Society of Scotland
Law Society of Northern Ireland
How do I submit my application?
You can submit your application through our online application service at the visa section of the British Embassy.
