Visas for the UK
Where can I get information?
UK Border Agency and the British High Commission, Kingston, work in partnership with a commercial organisation, Worldbridge.
You can find out whether you need a visa and how to apply through the Worldbridge website: www.visainfoservices.com. Worldbridge also provides information through an e-mail and telephone enquiry service.
Please note that the local 876-621-0200 number is currently unavailable. The Alternative number of +44-20-33550064 should be used until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Please note that residents of the Bahamas who require a UK Visa must contact the British Consulate in New York.
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?
Worldbridge 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 seek advice from a qualified immigration adviser. In the UK these are immigration advisers regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC –www.oisc.gov.uk) or legally qualified professionals regulated by designated professional bodies. Links to their websites are listed below:
Law Society of England and Wales
Law Society of Northern Ireland
How do I submit my application?
Worldbridge manages Visa Application Centres in Kingston, 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 UK Border Agency staff. Neither Worldbridge, 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 Worldbridge claim to be able to influence your application you should inform the British High Commission as soon as possible.
