UK visas and the British High Commission are working with Gerry's International to deliver the UK visa application service in Pakistan.

Gerry's International operates the Visa Application Centres (VACs) on behalf of UK visas. Staff at the Visa Application Centres accept applications and forward them to the British High Commission for consideration.

Visa applications will be assessed by Entry Clearance Officers in the Visa Section of the British High Commission. Neither Gerry's International nor any individual member of staff at the Visa Application Centre play any part in, and cannot influence, the outcome of visa applications.

Any member of staff at the Visa Application Centres claiming to be able to influence applications should be reported to the British High Commission.

Applicants are required to pay the appropriate visa fee but no other additional fees or payments are required. The current fees are displayed prominently in the Visa Application Centres.

Visa Application Centres may offer additional services at extra cost, which may make it more convenient to apply. It is for applicants to decide whether to make use of these additional services. They are not compulsory and will not affect the consideration of applications.

Visa Application Centres staff are required to perform checks to ensure that applications are complete. They may highlight common mistakes or missing information and allow applicants to amend the application(s) if they wish, but they are instructed to accept application(s) if an applicant wishes to proceed.

Comments about the service received at the Visa Application Centres can be made at Customer Services and Feedback.
