Kuwait providing services to help people apply for UK visas.
- 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 email

Border Agency here in Kuwait where you should submit your
application, your biometric fingerscans and pay the application

- 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 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 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

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. 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.
