Q: When can I get my own UK visa? Will the visa center call you? Do you still have to ask yourself?

The visa application center will notify the visa-related application status through SMS (if this service is selected when submitting documents at the visa application center) or email provided when submitting documents at the visa application center. If the visa application is successful and you choose the courier service, you will receive the materials by mail, or you can choose to pick them up in person at the visa application center.

Office hours of the visa application center: 8:00- 15:00 from Monday to Friday.

At different stages of the application process, I received five short messages and emails. Text messages and emails are sent when:

1. When VAC sends the application documents to the embassy/consulate.

2. When VAC receives the application documents transmitted by the embassy/consulate.

3. When VAC sends the application documents to the applicant.

4. When the applicant goes to VAC to obtain the application documents.

Precautions for entering the UK:

When China citizens enter the UK, they should carry valid passports, visas, air tickets and documents related to the purpose of entry, such as admission notice, invitation letter, proof of funds or the address and contact information of contacts in the UK, so that border immigration officials can check them. Never put these materials in the checked baggage. ?

When handling immigration procedures, you should truthfully answer the inquiries of British immigration officials; If you don't know English or can't correctly understand the questions raised by the immigration officer, you can ask the British side to provide Chinese translation; If you think you have been treated unfairly, you should personally express your opinion to the British immigration officer and ask to contact the Chinese embassy and consulate in Britain.
