- How do I know if I need a visa?
Visit the UKBA website
for more information.
- Can I fill in my on-line application in a
language other than English?
No. At present only applications made in English
are supported.
- Can I pay for my Visa on-line?
Currently in Almaty it is not possible to pay on-line.
All applications must be paid for in Tinge currency.
- I have a popup blocker installed on my computer.
Will this affect how the website works?
Most popup blockers are fine but some prevent the
Application Form, the Print and Retrieve Saved Application
pages from opening. The blocker should advise you
that it is blocking a page and will have options
to allow you to permit popups from this site should
you choose to.
- I forgot to make a note of the supporting
documents I should bring with my application form.
You should refer to the guidelines on the www.ukvisas.gov.uk.
- If I am unable to attend my scheduled interview,
do I have to reschedule my appointment?
If you are unable to attend your interview at the
time of the appointment you will have to make a
fresh appointment online. This will not affect the
outcome of your visa application.
- What will happen if I do not bring my application
form?
You will not be able to make your application. You
must print and bring your application form as well
as your passport, passport photo and any supporting
documents you want to submit with your application.
- Will you offer any assistance to applicants
in completing application forms?
We cannot assist with the completion of forms as
it is up to the applicants to give answers to the
questions on the application form.
- Will a sponsor be able to accompany me to
the interview?
Unless you are making a settlement application,
your sponsors will not be permitted entry to the
Visa Section, except where requested by an entry
clearance officer. Any accompanying sponsor will
be asked to wait outside.
- If I travel with a child, should I fill in
a separate form for the child?
Yes. If your child has his/her own travel document.
Please note if a child is on your passport, his/her
photo must be affixed there by the Passport Office.
In this case a separate form for the child is preferable.
You should also provide his/her passport-sized photo
and birth certificate. If the child is travelling
with only one parent, or with other relatives, a
notarised permission from the non-accompanying parent(s)
must be provided.
- I transit the UK and stay there less than
24 hours. Do I need a visa?
The UK Immigration Service operates a transit without
visa (TWOV) concession. At the discretion of an
Immigration Officer certain visa nationals, including
Kazak citizens, can transit within Gatwick or Heathrow
without a visa provided they have a confirmed booking
on a flight departing within 24 hours to their country
of destination and a valid visa to this country.
However, please note this act is discretionary.
If you qualify you can choose to travel without
a visa. But no guarantees can be given about gaining
entry. A full list of those nationals who qualify
under the TWOV concession can be found at www.ukvisas.gov.uk under 'Do I
need a visa'.
