U.K. simplifies visa procedure

New Delhi: The United Kingdom has simplified its visa application procedure to encourage tourists, students and “key workers.”

The new procedure takes effect on October 29. “Those who wish to apply for the U.K. visas or entry clearances should apply using the new application forms,” the British High Commission said in a statement on Monday.

The forms would be available with the High Commission and also its Deputy High Commissions’ visa departments and the local visa application centres. They can also be downloaded from the website www.ukvisas.gov.uk, the statement said. — PTI
