ROADTOWN Tortola BVI, April 27th, 2012   –  The Governor’s Office would like to advise that the United Kingdom Government is introducing a new service in Antigua on May 18th 2012, providing an opportunity for UK visa applicants from the Eastern Caribbean to provide biometric information in Antigua, without having to travel to Barbados or Kingston to apply.

Authorised by the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA) and facilitated by the Governor’s Office of Montserrat and the Antigua Barbuda Immigration Department, this one-time “Mobile Biometric Clinic” event will be run by UKBA’s commercial partner for the Americas Region - CSC.

The first clinic is to be held in the ground-floor conference room of the office of the Antigua Barbuda Immigration Department at Long & Thames Streets in St. John’s, Antigua. UK visa applicants wishing to attend the clinic are required first to apply and pay the applicable visa fee online by visiting www.visa4UK.fco.gov.uk.

When applying for the visa online at visa4UK all applicants must apply as if they were applying from the Bahamas, otherwise they will be directed to make an appointment in Bridgetown Barbados. By applying as if they were in Bahamas applicants will be able to book an appointment for the biometric clinic in Antigua.

After making the visa application on line all applicants must then visit CSC’s website at www.visainfoservices.com to pay the biometric clinic fee (US$150.00 + tax of 17.5%) for each applicant and book each applicant’s biometric clinic appointment. The clinic fee must be paid in advance on www.visainfoservices.com, and attendance is by appointment only
