Giving biometrics after applying online

For online or paper applications

• You can only give your biometrics after you get a letter from us that tells you what to do.
• To get this letter, pay the biometrics fee when you submit your application.

If you apply at a Visa Application Centre (VAC)

• You can give your biometrics when you submit a paper application at a VAC.
  • Some VACs let you book an appointment ahead of time on their website.
  • If so, we recommend that you book an appointment.
• If you decide to apply online at a VAC, you’ll have to wait to get the letter that tells you that you need to give biometrics.
  • Once you have this letter, you can return to the VAC to give your biometrics.

I plan to apply online, by myself.

It says that we get a letter back that tells us what to do. What does this entail? Will this letter just redirect me to the nearest VAC center to give my biometrics? This information differentiates online applications done by yourself and online applications done at the VAC, so what exactly is the difference? Can not apply online at the VAC and instead apply on my own, then use that letter to go to the VAC to give my biometrics?

Also, if we are just redirected to the VAC, will be able to take my pictures there as well?

Yes it will tell you where to give bio metric once application is at that stage. Normally very next day.

you can apply yourself online once requested go to VAC to give bio metric. You need to submit picture with your application.

Good Luck
