Olympic games visas being processed

Updated: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:53:47 +0000 by Kara Shadbolt

From 1 January 2012 the UKBA began processing visitor visas for those coming from outside the UK to watch the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Games will be the biggest event that the UK has hosted and many extra visitors will arrive during the busy summer period in 2012.

If successful with an application, a visa will be issued with a start date that will cover the applicant for the whole Olympic and Paralympic Games period. This means that you can start your preparations for travelling to the UK now.

In most cases, you will be allowed to stay in the UK for up to 6 months. If you require assistance with a visa application, or wish to discuss this or any other immigration application, please contact the Immigration team on 0844 561 0100 or email enquiries@alsterskelley.com
