We have developed and implemented a remote visa processing assistance program, allowing us to provide you qualified support for any type of visa to the UK while you’re in the United States.

This is much more effective, easier, and quicker than doing it yourself or seeking out a company in the United States, which will require you to visit in person to help you. Why waste time commuting for office consultations? It's the 21st century. Everything can be prepared from the comfort of your home!

Are Philippine nationals required to have a visa to visit the UK

Many people are of the opinion that if a Philippine passport holder has acquired a residence permit in the United States, they won’t be required to obtain a visa for the UK. Unfortunately, that is false information. A requirement for a visa is determined by nationality, and a residence permit plays no role in that. if the passport you hold is a Philippine one, that means you’ll have to apply for a visa in order to visit the UK.

Usually, the preparation process takes 2-3 business days. This is about how long it’ll take to get together the documents list we will compile for you. Once you’ve prepared all your documents, we will have time to check over them, fill out the application form on your behalf, upload the documents for the embassy, and book your submission location in a single day!

What's next

At that point, all you’ll have to do is choose a day and time that works for you to come into the application centre and submit your fingerprints. They take them from applicants every time they apply for a visa. All you’ll need to bring is your passport!

You will not be required to come back again to pick up your passport after the decision is made. Instead, you can just order it to be delivered via express mail to your address in the United States.
