How to apply for a UK visa 

Where can I get information?

The UK Border Agency and the British Embassy in La Paz work in partnership with a commercial organisation, WorldBridge. You can find out whether you need a visa and how to apply through WorldBridge's website www.visainfoservices.com. 

WorldBridge also provides information through an e-mail and telephone enquiry service, the number is (44) 208099 9550 and costs US$ 12 each call. All the information provided is supplied and approved by the UK Border Agency.

Do I have to pay?

Website and email information is free of charge but there is a charge for using the telephone service.

Where can I get advice?

WorldBridge and its staff cannot give you advice on how to complete your application, or what type of visa you should apply for.   If you need help with your application or advice about the UK's immigration rules and requirements, you should seek advice from a qualified immigration adviser. In the UK these are immigration advisers regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner  or legally qualified professionals regulated by designated professional bodies.  Their websites are:

• Law Society of England and Wales
• Law Society of Scotland
• Law Society of Northern Ireland
• Institute of Legal Executives

How do I submit my application?

All Bolivian applicants should submit their application through our online application service  at the Visa Section of the British Embassy in La Paz.

Who decides whether I will get a visa?

Your visa application will be processed and decided by UK Border Agency staff. Neither World Bridge Service, nor any of its staff play any part in, nor can they influence the outcome of your visa application.  If any member of staff employed by World Bridge Service claim to be able to influence your application you should inform the British Embassy in La Paz as soon as possible.
