UK Visa on a Refugee Travel Document

[Care2Care]

Hello everyone,

Has anyone applied for a UK visitor visa whilst using a Refugee Travel Document (RTD)?

I'd like some guidance as i am planning to visit the UK next year and want to apply for a visa.

I am a protected person on a RTD

Any pointers like website to check, procedure, if i have to submit in person and biometrics required , how long visa processing takes etc.. Just any helpful pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

You actually can apply and it can be successful....Just having your PR helps though...I applied in January for USA visa and wasn't given..My PR came and I applied again and got 10 years....Even though I applied with same RTD

In general being employed, having a good amount of savings, having a home (lease or ownership), traveling for a specific purpose, traveling for a short amount of time, being a PR (realize you aren’t PR yet),etc. are all things that will help you get approval.

Hello,
Could anyone share UK visa process on RTD ? Is it like normal UK visit visa process ?
What is the visa processing time (How long it takes to get the visa) ?

Yes, exactly like a normal passport. However, if you are flying elsewhere on an airline touching the UK, you can get a short transit (24 hours) with Canadian PR card

Hi, I’m a permanent resident Canada and I have a valid Canadian travel document, do I still need a visa to visit my friend in the UK? Does anyone know or have information about this? Please share

UK is not included in the list of visa free countries for RTD. You need to apply for a UK visa. You chew to complete the application form online and provide necessary information needed for your visa approval.
