Visas for the UK

 
How to apply for a UK visa

Where can I get information?

The UK Border Agency and the British Embassy Algiers work in partnership with a commercial organisation, WorldBridge Service.  
You can find out whether you need a visa and how to apply through WorldBridge Service.  WorldBridge Service also provides information through an e-mail and telephone enquiry service, the number is 021 77 01 22. All the information provided is supplied and approved by the UK Border Agency.

Do I have to pay?

No, all information is provided free of charge in Algeria

Where can I get advice?

WorldBridge Service 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 these are immigration advisers regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner or legally qualified professionals regulated by designated professional bodies. Their websites are:

• Law Society of England and Wales
• Law Society of Scotland
• Law Society of Northern Ireland
• Institute of Legal Executives

How do I submit my application?

For Algeria WorldBridge Service manages Visa Application Centre in Algiers, where you should submit your application and your biometric fingerscans.

Who decides whether I will get a visa?

UK Border Agency staff will process and decide your visa application. WorldBridge Service and its staff play no part in the outcome of your visa application. They cannot influence it in any way.  If any member of staff employed by WorldBridge Service say they can influence your application, you should tell the British Embassy Algiers immediately.
