Once you have booked your ticket to World Travel Market London, you will have the option to request a visa letter to assist with your visa application.

Visa information for exhibitors is provided as part of the badging process. Exhibitors should follow the guidance supplied during registration.

The visa section of your nearest British mission overseas will provide guidance on how to apply. You may be able to apply:

• Online

• By post

• By courier

• In person

Some visa sections only accept online applications. To check whether you can apply online, please send your query to:
visa4uk@fco.gov.uk

If you cannot apply online, you will need to complete a Visitor Visa application form (VAF 1 – Visitor). Forms are available free of charge from your nearest British Embassy overseas where visa services are offered.

Visa Application Centres (VACs) are located in major population centres and make it easier to apply for a UK visa. VACs:

• Collect your biometric information (see below)

• Collect relevant fees

• Check that your application includes the necessary documents

• Provide impartial, face‑to‑face guidance on the application process

Your application will then be assessed by UK entry clearance staff, who will decide whether to issue or refuse a visa. VAC staff are not involved in this decision.

As part of the visa application process, you will be required to provide biometric information, which includes:

• Scans of all 10 fingers

• A full‑face digital photograph

You must attend a Visa Application Centre in person to provide this information. In countries without a VAC, you will need to visit the British mission.

Your application will not be processed until biometric information has been provided.

The process:

• Is electronic (no ink or chemicals are used)

• Takes approximately five minutes

Please ensure:

• Your fingertips are free from decorations (such as henna), cuts or markings

• Any cuts or bruises on your face have healed before your appointment

• Your photograph shows your full face

• You do not wear sunglasses, hats or head coverings (unless worn for cultural or religious reasons, in which case the face must remain visible)
