Some Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I determine what my UK visa options are?
A: If you prefer to surf the internet (as opposed to emailing or calling Move Up) you can make use of the following websites:
GOV.UK - the British government insist that all UK visa information can be found here (which it can).
moveup.co.za/assess - Move Up's quick 4 question online visa assessment - did I mention this service is free?
UK-visas-for-South-Africans.co.za - this is another sponsored website revealing the same details in another way.
Q: How do I make an appointment to submit my visa application?
A: The next step (Step 2 of 5 - Online Application) explains how South Africans have to first complete an online application. At the end of the online application, applicants secure an appointment to attend at their local "Visa Application Center" - also known as Teleperformance. Applicants process payment for their visas online and thereafter will be able to print confirmation of their appointment and their completed application forms.
Q: Is there a number I can call to make an appointment?
A: Not at the moment. All UK visa applications are done electronically (as a means to reduce unskilled work force) through the UK's online application (detailed in Step 2 of 5 - Online Application). For elderly clients (who are not internet friendly - this means that you are encouraged to make use of agency help to complete the UK governments online questionnaire).
If you are desparate to call the UK Home Office, the following contact details have been made online (May 2014):
00 44 1243 218 173
This is a paid service and there is a cost of £1.37 UK Sterling per minute in addition to your standard network charges. Please have a valid credit or debit card ready to process your payment. We can accept Mastercard Credit and Debit cards, and Visa Credit and Debit cards. You will not be charged until you are connected to an advisor. Calls may be recorded for training purposes. We are able to handle your calls in English.
Q: How do I contact my local Teleperformance/ Visa Application Centre?
A: At the moment Teleperformance does not have a call centre. Further to this, their staff members are not equiped or permitted to give UK legislation information.
Given that Teleperformance is in its first year of operation, telephone call centres are not likely to be put up any time soon. If you are looking for help in the submission of this UK visa application, you are encouraged to consider Move Up as your next best option.
Alternatively you can call Move Up. We are here to solve UK visa challenges.
Q: Where are the Visa Application Centres?
A: The answer to this question will be given at the end of your online application. South Africans can only visit the Visa Application Centres (located country wide- JHB, DBN, CTN, PTA and PE) once they process and paid for their visas online. The UK government have been clever not promoting its whereabouts until the online application has been resolved (to stop people trying to come in for online visa application questions).
For those desparate to find out the locations (by ignoring our industry related advice), details of the application centres can be found on Move Up's sponsored website: UK Visas For South Africans.co.za.
