How to apply for a UK visa in Pakistan
Where can I get information?
The UK Border Agency and the British High Commission Islamabad work in partnership with a commercial organisation: Gerry’s International. You can find out whether you need a visa and how to apply through Gerry’s website. Gerry’s also provides information through an e-mail and telephone enquiry service. The numbers are: 090010411 (PTCL land lines) or 8865 (short code for all mobile providers) and cost PKR 10 /min. All the information provided is supplied and approved by The UK Border Agency.
"Please note that the British High Commission Islamabad is unable to provide visa information to personal callers. Please contact Gerry's as described above."
Do I have to pay?
Website and email information is free of charge but there is a charge for using the telephone service.
Where can I get advice?
Gerry’s 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 contact a qualified professional immigration adviser or lawyer. You can also contact the Immigration Advisory Service (IAS) for advice. The IAS is a voluntary organisation independent of government, and can provide confidential advice for you and your representatives. In the UK, these are immigration advisers regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (www.oisc.gov.uk) 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?
Gerry’s manages Visa Application Centres in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore where you should submit your application and your biometric fingerscans.
Who decides whether I will get a visa?
Your visa application will be processed and decided by the UK Border Agency staff. Neither Gerry’s, nor any of its staff play any part in, nor can they influence the outcome of your visa application. If any member of staff employed by Gerry’s claim to be able to influence your application you should inform the British High Commission.
