This page explains how you can apply for a visa to come to the UK if you are currently in Romania.
If you currently
have temporary permission to stay in Romania (for example, as a student
or a visitor), you can only apply for some types of UK visa - see 'More
information' below.
School children, who are visa
nationals, and, are resident in an EEA country do not need a visa if
visiting or transiting the UK as a member of a school group - see 'More Information' below.
When to apply
You can apply for a visa up to 3
months before your date of travel to the UK. We strongly advise you not
to confirm your travel arrangements until you have received your visa.
To find out how long we usually take to process your type of visa, see the Visa processing times page.

If you are applying for any other type of visa, you should provide documents that:
We will only consider documents
submitted with your application. You cannot submit documents after you
have completed your application at the visa application centre, unless
our staff ask you for them.
For every document that you provide,
you must include the original documentand a photocopy. This includes a
copy of your passport bio-data page (the page containing your
photograph). Please ensure that the photocopies are of good quality and
can be read easily. If you do not provide a photocopy of each document,
we might not return your original documents to you.
If you do not have a document, or
your documents are not written in English or Welsh, or you are not
paying for your trip, you can find out what to do under 'More
information' below.
How to apply
To apply for a visa, you must:
You need to complete and submit the application form online.
Applying online
When you apply online, you will need
to print out and sign your completed form. If you do not have access to
a printer when you apply, you will be able to log in and print out the
form later.
As part of your online application,
you must use the appointment calendar to book an appointment at a visa
application centre. All visa applicants must book an appointment. You
must attend this appointment in person.
Your appointment must be no more than 60 days after the date when you completed and submitted your online visa application form.
Unless you are exempt, you must
enrol your fingerprints and facial photograph (known as 'biometric
information) when you attend your appointment. You cannot enrol your
fingerprints if your fingertips are cut or damaged or if you have any
form of temporary decoration (such as henna or mehendi) on them. You
must wait until the injury has healed or the decoration has faded before
making your appointment.
If you are part of a family or
group, each member of the family or group must make an individual
appointment. For example, if you are a family of 4 with 2 adults and 2
children you must make 4 individual appointments.
When you have completed your online
application, you will receive an email message containing
your application number (also known as a 'GWF reference'). Please make a
note of this number.
You can find the online application form under 'Do it online' on the right side of this page.

You can pay your visa application fee at our visa application centre at the British Embassy. We only accept cash (New Lei RON).
