Visa Application Centres (VAC)

At the Visa Application Centre (VAC) you will be required to submit your facial biometrics and fingerprints.  

Please remember the VAC is not a visa consultant agency. It is a place where you need to attend only to submit your biometrics and (if you choose not to pay and keep it) your passport.  

But they do try and make additional money, they offer appointments at more convenient times, executive lounges, a service which allows you to keep your passport, all at an extra cost.  

 

When you are attending your appointment, there are three documents you will need to take;

  • Your passport
  • Copy of your application form
  • Your supporting documents check list

You must take your passport and allow the TLS staff to check it.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of the TLS contract is their control over your appointment date at the VAC. When you submit your documents it’s almost impossible to get an appointment within the next day or two without paying extra for a paid appointment service.

They know that people want the service to be available the next day, and they know that many people are willing to pay for this luxury. They therefore make it unavailable unless you are willing to pay more money.

The appointment usually takes approximately 20-30 minutes during which you will be asked to sign a document to confirm your application and prove you have attended your appointment.

There are 6 cities in Turkey where these VACs are located.

Please note;

TLS requires an extra £76.5 for appointments booked in İzmir, Antalya and Adana.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the UK government be influenced or asked to speed up the decision making process for my visa?

The UK Government offers 3 decision making services. The Standard visa, the Priority visa, and the Super Priority visa. The priority and super priority are additional paid options and cost extra, they are known as Fast Track options. 
These options are offered to the applicant at the point of sale. They are also available to the applicant right up until the point where your biometrics are given at the VAC. After this point, nothing can be done to speed up the process. The Visa department will not make any application a priority unless you have paid for that service. 

How important is it to supply documents to support my application?

The short answer is, vital. Every claim you make must be backed up by evidence, this will be in the form of a document. Note also that each document needs to be understood by a non-Turkish speaking government official. Therefore translations and English explanations are often necessary. If a document cannot be understood it is classed as missing. Therefore the question you are answering cannot be substantiated, this will affect your application. Ensure that the documents support you, and that they do not undermine your case.

The UK Turkey Life Service includes translations and production of a schedule of documents. We examine each document in detail and ensure that it assists your application, and that it is correct with no mistakes. We explain what each document means and what statement it is supporting. We create this in English and provide translations where necessary. You will not have to pay the VAC fees (of 340tl) to upload any documents, we do this for free.

I am not sure which visa type to apply for, what can I do?

You must choose the visa category that is right for you. If you proceed with the category that is not suitable, your application may be rejected immediately by the UK government official, with no refund offered.

We have an extensive section which outlines each type of visa and its purpose in our Visa Type page. If you are still having difficulty deciding which Visa type you require, you can contact us at UK-Turkey Life. Our dedicated staff will discuss the options with you.

Can I fill out the application form in Turkish?

The official application to be submitted to UK authorities must be in English. If you apply with UK Turkey Life, you can fill out the application form in Turkish and we will translate the document into English for you as part of our services. We will also translate any necessary documents at no extra cost. More about our services.

What information will I need to provide during my application?

You will generally need to give information about yourself and your family. You will then need to explain any employment history and wages, this may include giving details of incoming, outgoings and savings. 
You will also be asked whether you have any criminal convictions and what your purpose of the visit will be. There may be other questions depending on your own personal circumstances.
Here is a list of the general information you will be asked to provide:

  • The dates you’re planning to travel to the UK
  • Where you’ll be staying during your visit
  • How much you think your trip will cost
  • Your current home address and how long you’ve lived there
  • Your parents’ names and dates of birth (if known)
  • How much you earn in a year (if you have an income)
  • Details of any criminal, civil or immigration offences you may have committed

Depending on your circumstances, you might also need to provide:

  • Details of your travel history for the past 10 years
  • Your employer’s address and telephone number
  • Your partner’s name, date of birth and passport number
  • The name and address of anyone paying for your trip
  • The name, address and passport number of any family members you have in the UK

What do I need to do when applying for a Visa?

The visa application process will vary depending on the type of visa you are applying for, but it generally consists of:
  • Submitting a written application
  • Providing supporting documents
  • Attending an appointment for biometrics and submitting your passport
  • Collection of your passport
It can be a challenging and complex process. UK Turkey Life was founded with the intention of making this process easier for you. 

What are the main reasons a visa is refused?

There are many reasons that the UK may refuse a Visa. It depends on the information given by you to the authorities. In deciding whether an application is appropriate, there are three main categories, these can be summed up as;

  • Financial means
  • Purpose of travel
  • Risk of illegal migration

Your may be refused a visa if you fail to convince the UK visa officers examining your application that;

  • you’ll leave the UK at the end of your visit
  • you’re able to support yourself and your dependants during your trip (or have funding from someone else to support you)
  • you’re able to pay for your return or onward journey (or have funding from someone else to pay for the journey)
  • you’ll not live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits, or make the UK your main home

It can be challenging to clearly convey your circumstances to the UK authorities, especially if English does not come naturally to you. If you choose to apply with UK Turkey Life, our professional assistance will ensure your answers accurately reflect your circumstances, in addition our translation service will allow you to explain this to us in Turkish.

How long after my application is submitted to the UK authorities, will I get a decision about my visa application?

After you have attended your appointment at the Visa Application Centre (VAC), the UK Government aims to process your application and return your passport back to you within 21 days. However since the beginning of 2022 the UK authorities are taking longer than usual to process applications, and the Standard Visitor Visa is taking almost 7 weeks. 
There are many other types of Visas under the categories of Work and Study. They have differing processing times, all of which are recoded in our Visa Types page. HYPERLINK
If you are prepared to pay additional costs to the UK Government, it is possible to get your Visa within one week of attending your appointment at the VAC, this is known as the Priority Service. It is even possible to get the UK to decide within 24 hours, this is known as the Super Priority Service. These services are subject to availability as per the UK Government’s decisions. We can purchase this service for you, but please discuss this prior to ordering.
