In 2014 the Home Office introduced a new digital application service for customers in China to apply for visitor visas online.

Following its successful launch, Access UK has now been made available for customers applying to visit the UK in over 180 countries and 10 languages. Over half a million visitor visa applications have been received so far by the new service.

Access UK means visa customers can:

• Make quicker visa applications using an intuitive online form
• Use easy-to-follow checklists and steps which list the documents required to make an application
• Apply flexibly using any mobile device
