Welcome to the website of the UK Visa Application Centre in Syria

  • Who Are We?

    VFS Global is a commercial company, working in partnership with UK Border Agency and the British Embassy here in Syria providing services to help people apply for UK visas.


  • How Can We Help You?

    You will find information on this site, supplied by UK Border Agency visa services, about how to apply for a UK visa, if you need one. From this site you can also use our free e-mail service to obtain the same information. We also offer a telephone information service.

    Information about the UK's immigration rules and policies can be found on UK Border Agency visa services' website (www.ukvisas.gov.uk).

    VFS also manages the Visa Application Centre for UK Border Agency here in Syria where you should submit your application, your biometric finger scans and pay the application fee. The address details of the VAC can be found in the Contact Us section of this website.


  • 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 Society of Northern Ireland
    Institute of Legal Executives

    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 in Amman. 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.
