All applications from The Gambia for a UK visa must be completed and paid for online from 27th January 2014.

All applications for a UK visa must be completed online using the online application system and paid for online in US Dollars before going to the visa application centre to submit a printed copy of the application form and biometric data.

Payment can be made online using a Visa or MasterCard debit or credit card or the e-wallet Skrill. Please ensure the payment method has sufficient funds before attempting a visa application. If you need to create an e-wallet account please ensure you do this a few days before attempting a visa application to ensure the funds are available to use during the application.
