All nationals from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, & UAE intending to visit the UK for a period of up to six months will no longer be required to obtain a Visit visa in advance of travel. Nationals from these countries can choose to apply for an Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW) instead of a Visit visa to travel to the UK.

An EVW offers a faster, easier, and cheaper process to visit the UK than a Visit visa. An application can be made between 3 months and 48 hours in advance of travel. There is no requirement for customers to provide biometrics, attend a Visa Application Centre or hand in passports in advance of travel for an EVW.

VFS Global can help you complete your electronic visa wavier application from the convenience of your home. The VFS service fee is GBP 20 and the EVW fee is GBP 30
