- WHO ARE WE?
VFS Global is a commercial company, working in partnership with
the UK Border Agency and the British Embassy here in Kazakhstan
providing services to help people apply for UKBA.
- HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
You will find information on this site, supplied by the UK Border
Agency, about how to apply for a UK visa, if you need one. From
this site you can also use our free e-mail service to obtain the
same information. We also offer a telephone information service, which costs 200 KZT per call/minute.
Information about the UK's immigration rules and policies can
be found on the UK Border Agency website (www.ukvisas.gov.uk).
FOR VAC SUPPORTED COUNTRIES ONLY
The Visa Application Centre in Almaty accepts applications for all types of UK visas from
nationals and residents of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. VFS manages Visa Application Centre
for UKvisas here in Kazakhstan where you should submit your application, your biometric fingerscans and
pay the application fee.
The address details of the VACs can be found in the Contact Us section of this website.
- WHERE CAN I GET ADVICE?
Our 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 (OISC - www.oisc.gov.uk)
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
Institute of
Legal Executives
- Who Decides If I Will Get A Visa?
Your visa application will be processed and decided by UK
Border Agency staff. Neither VFS, nor any of our staff, play any
part in or influence the outcome of your visa application.
If any member of our staff claims to be able to influence your
application, you should inform the nearest British diplomatic
mission as soon as possible.
