GottaGo Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi,Travelling to the UK in Feb (if I get my new SA passport back in time!!!!). Has anyone in Perth applied for a Tourist Visa for the UK on their SA passport in Perth? Where do I go? Just thought I'd see if anyone's done it before I start phoning around to find out.Thanks!

penny Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I had to get a visa last year and I completed the application on the internet. I was then given an appointment to go to the high commissioner here in Melbouren where they identified me and took my finger prints and took my passport. A week later I received my passport back in the post. It was very easy. Hope you have something like this in Perth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
