Due to the current situation, there are longer waiting times for an appointment at the British visa centre TLS. The reason for this is the need for increased capacity for war refugees from Ukraine!

The Visa Centres Berlin, Düsseldorf and Munich currently advise that it is only possible to apply for a visa for the UK if you are fully vaccinated (against COVID-19)or have a recovered status (at least 27-28 days old, maximum 3 months old). Persons who have not been fully vaccinated or who have only been tested CANNOT APPLY FOR A VISA AT THIS TIME!

The British visa authority and the TLS Teleperformance Visa Center, which must be used to apply for the visa, have adjusted the fees to the current exchange rate and also increased them. Further information can be obtained at any time by phone or e-mail. The new prices are noted on the respective order forms and info pages.
