While that is under way, complete the online visitor visa application carefully and in full. Next, pay the visa fee online and keep the receipt with your file. Once the fee is paid, book your appointment through the UK section of VFS Global, then attend on the day to hand in your documents and give your biometrics. Arrive half an hour early: if you are late, the appointment is cancelled and you have to book the whole thing again.<\/p><h3>How do I book a VFS appointment?<\/h3><p>UK visitor applications are lodged at a VFS visa application centre rather than at the embassy itself, so there is no embassy appointment to book. Start by creating an account on the UKVI site, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/standard-visitor\/apply-standard-visitor-visa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online visitor visa form<\/a> , and once the fee is paid, go through to the appointment booking page. When you submit on gov.uk a GWF number is generated automatically, and you are then passed to the VFS Global site to book the appointment.<\/p><p>If the handover from the government site to VFS does not go through, open<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vfsglobal.com\/united-kingdom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> this link<\/a> and create a separate account there as well.<\/p><p>On the VFS Global home page, select your country of residence and the visa type (UK \u2013 Visit Visa), then enter the GWF number issued to you on gov.uk when you sign in. That number is what the application is tracked against. On the next page, choose the visa application centre you want and click a date and time to book it. Once the confirmation email arrives at the address on the account, the appointment is fixed and there is nothing further to do.<\/p><p>For an extra fee you can add services such as faster processing, VIP handling and premium courier return of your passport. You can track the outcome of the application from the same account. If you would rather not deal with the booking and the paperwork yourself, contact Aval Visa and we will handle every stage and every payment for you.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af43a64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"af43a64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fees and processing times<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c024a2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c024a2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<table id=\"tablepress-681\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-681\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Visa type<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Validity<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Application fee in GBP<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Short-term visitor visa<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Six months<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">GBP 135<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Long-term visitor visa<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Two years<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">See the current gov.uk fee table<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Long-term visitor visa<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Five years<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">See the current gov.uk fee table<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Long-term visitor visa<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Ten years<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">See the current gov.uk fee table<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-681 from cache -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f080837 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f080837\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On top of these fees, budget for the running costs: document translation, professional advice, flights, hotels and the rest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3df747e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3df747e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Extending a UK visitor visa<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c05ed3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c05ed3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A UK visitor visa is not usually extendable, except in exceptional circumstances such as a medical emergency or humanitarian grounds. <span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If you want to spend longer in Britain, apply for a long-term visitor visa from the outset. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Those visas allow multiple entries, but each stay is capped at 6 months.
