5 mistakes we catch for UK applicants BEFORE submission
🪪Surname formatting on UK passport
UK passport machine-readable zone uses ALL CAPS with no spaces in surname (e.g. SMITH-JONES → SMITHJONES). Our form mirrors machine-readable formatting · we catch typing differences before submit.
📸Photo format
35×45mm · white background · ≤6 months old · no glasses or hat. We re-crop your Boots/passport photo free of charge.
🎯Purpose mismatch
If you say Business on the form but enter on Tourism · denied at airport. Pick the purpose that matches your actual entry intent · we double-check with you.
💸Wrong tier selection
Picking Emergency $89 for travel that is >5 days away = $54 wasted. Standard covers 90% of cases · we recommend the right tier based on your entry date.
🔤Passport number typo
Letter O vs digit 0 in passport number · $25 re-file fee from gov · we cross-check character by character against your uploaded passport scan.

Your visa concierge: Robert Nguyen
“For UK travelers · Standard tier covers 90% of cases · book ≥7 days before flight · we will WhatsApp Stripe link in 1 hour. Pick Rush if your flight is in 3-7 days · Emergency only if <48hr and your flight is non-changeable. I personally vet every UK filing because surname formatting is a common mistake we catch.”
