Many people mistake the United Kingdom as one country only. The United Kingdom is geographically located at Northern Europe and is made up of four (4) countries namely: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It is safe to assume that Filipinos who hold a Philippine passport needs to have a visa if they are planning to go to a country outside Southeast Asia; The United Kingdom is not an exception. Yes, you need a visa if you’re planning to visit the U.K and here’s what you’ll need:
1. A printed and signed copy of your visa application form.
2. Philippine passport (with 6 months validity within the travel period). *The UK border agency will take a hold of your passport until they arrive at the decision to approve you of a visa so plan ahead.
3. Previous passports and previous visas
4. One (1) recent photograph that is not older than 6 months. *Printed against light grey or cream background that has good quality, 45mm x 35mm photo; should not be grinning, smiling, frowning, and should be looking straight when the shot took place.
5. Proof of income
Certificate of Employment (If you have one)
