Applicants visiting the designated embassy processing office must provide their supporting materials according to updated guidance. UK Visas and Immigration has removed the requirement to submit a completed, signed, and dated self-assessment form.
- Valid national passport or official travel document
- Settlement supporting evidence (presented in person for direct digital scanning)
- Path-specific supporting documentation (as required by individual visa categories)
Step-by-Step Application Procedure
- Complete the online UK visa application through the official GOV.UK portal.
- Note that the visa application centre at the British Embassy in Havana is closed until further notice; check active processing locations specified during the digital filing sequence.
- Bring physical settlement supporting evidence directly to the British Embassy to be scanned on-site, as postal document submissions are no longer accepted.
- Complete biometrics and document submission as directed during your appointment.
- Receive your immigration decision digitally; successful applicants will no longer receive physical passport vignettes, following the full phase-out that took effect on July 1, 2026 (which previously applied to work and study routes starting July 15, 2025).
