Apply for a visa
Some visas can be applied for online but others you must apply for on a paper form. The visa information page for the visa you want to apply for will let you know how to apply.
Check the requirements for the visa you are applying for to make your sure you have everything we need.
You can complete your visa application by yourself or you may get someone to help you.
If someone is providing you advice, they must be a Licenced Immigration Adviser or be exempt from licensing. This can include being advised on what visa to apply for, what documents to provide, and how to answer specific questions. If you use an unauthorised advisor, your application will be refused.
