Visa Webchats

At intervals a Consular Officer from our Visa section will be on hand to answer your visa questions.  This is your chance to get plain-English answers on those visa issues on which you are unsure. 

Please note that for privacy reasons we cannot accept case-specific questions but you are welcome to provide a generic question to any of our webchats.
