Official UK visa application website in United Arab Emirates

  • Who Are We?

    VFS Global is a commercial company, working in partnership with the UK Border Agency at the British Embassy in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, providing services to help people apply for a visa to enter the United Kingdom (UK).


  • How Can We Help You?

    You will find information on this website, supplied by the UK Border Agency, about how to apply for a UK visa, if you need one. You can also use the VFS free email service or the telephone information service (charged at local call rates) to obtain the same information. VFS also manages visa application centres for UK Border Agency here in the United Arab Emirates where you should submit your visa application form, supporting documents and biometric data. Please see the 'Contact Us' page on this website for VFS visa application centre addresses and contact details.

    Information about the UK's Immigration Rules and policies can be found on UK Border Agency website.

  • Where Can I Get Advice?

    VFS Global and its 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 visa application or advice about the UK's Immigration Rules and requirements, you should seek advice from a qualified immigration adviser. In the UK immigration advisers are regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC - www.oisc.gov.uk).

    You can also obtain advice from legally qualified professionals regulated by designated professional bodies. A list of legally qualified professionals who can advise on immigration matters can be downloaded from the following websites:

    Law Society of England and Wales
    Law Society of Scotland
    Law Society of Northern Ireland
    Institute of Legal Executives

    Please note: The Law Societies of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and the Institute of Legal Executives cannot provide direct help or advice on visa applications. They can only provide a list of law firms who can advise on immigration matters.


  • Who Decides If I Will Get A Visa?

    Your visa application will be processed and decided by UK Border Agency staff. VFS staff do not play any part in or influence the outcome of your visa application.

    If VFS staff claim to be able to influence your visa application, you should inform the UK Border Agency in the United Arab Emirates as soon as possible.
