How to apply for a UK visa in the Czech Republic
Where can I get information?
UK Border Agency and the British Embassies in Warsaw and Prague work in partnership with a commercial organisation, Worldbridge Services. You can find out whether you need a visa and how to apply through the Worldbridge website (www.visainfoservices.com). Worldbridge also provides information through an e-mail service via their website. All the information provided is supplied and approved by the UK Border Agency.
Please note that the Embassy is unable to provide visa information to personal callers. Please contact WorldBridge as described above.
Do I have to pay?
No, all information is provided free of charge.
Where can I get advice?
Worldbridge 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 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) legally qualified professionals regulated by designated professional bodies. Their websites are:
How do I submit my application?
You should submit your application through our online application service www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/ at the Visa Section of the British Embassy Prague.
Who decides whether I will get a visa?
Your visa application will be processed and decided by UK Border Agency staff in Warsaw. Neither Worlbridge, nor any of its staff play any part in, nor can they influence the outcome of your visa application. UKBA staff at the British Embassy in Prague play a key role in processing your application but have no influence over the decision. If any member of staff employed by Worldbridge claim to be able to influence your application you should inform the British Embassy, Warsaw as soon as possible.
