POEA ADVISORY NO. 23, s. 2006, December 04, 2006
VISA APPLICANTS FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM WARNED
This information was issued by the British Embassy following a number of queries on whether the United Kingdom Immigration Office required an Anti-Terrorist Certificate before visas could be issued.
According to the British Embassy, under no circumstances could the UK Immigration Office or the Home Office staff facilitate visa applications for a fee nor require the
Anti-Terrorist Certificate in connection with applications for visa issuance. The Embassy suspected that the job advertisements were a scam and an attempt to extort money from the applicants.
Applicants are advised to refer to http://www.ukvacs.net, the website of the outsource provider of the British Embassy for the list of visa application requirements.
For the information and guidance of all concerned.
Adopted: 04 Dec. 2006
