自2020/6/1英國簽證申請中心將重新開放,恢復受理簽證申請及線上預約服務囉。
之前無法進行預約的申請人可以在2020/5/26開始登入系統預約,而已完成簽證線上表格的申請人,也可以於2020/5/25開始進行預約。
依據當地政府規定,申請人進入簽證中心將被要求量體溫或配戴口罩,以及保持社交距離。
如有COVID-19相關症狀,如發燒、咳嗽或呼吸困難等情形的申請人,將被要求更改預約時間。同時將被建議前往居住地最近的醫療機構就醫。
目前尚無法提供超級快件處理服務(台灣不適用),優先處理服務(觀光簽證)或是定居及所有簽證的優先處理服務。
簽證中心建議申請選擇中華郵政快遞服務領回簽證,如此更可以配合政府防疫措施的避免過多群聚。
自2020/6/8起,英國政府為因應COVID-19,對進入英國的所有旅客採取新的防疫措施。

UK Visa Application Centre in Taipei re-opening
From 1 June, UK Visas and Immigration is beginning a phased resumption of services and our Visa Application Centre in Taipei will be open from the same date.
Customers who were unable to attend an earlier appointment, will be able to log into their account to book a new appointment from 26 May 2020. Customers who have completed their application on GOV.UK, but didn’t previously book an appointment at the Visa Application Centre, can do so from 25 May 2020.
Your safety is our priority, so customers visiting our Visa Application Centres may be asked to observe social distancing, undergo temperature checks or be required to wear facemasks/gloves, subject to local authority guidelines.
Customers exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, including fever (higher than 38 degrees Celsius), cough or difficulty breathing will be helped to reschedule their application submission for another day and will be advised to seek medical attention at the nearest healthcare facility of their choice.
Please also be aware, that due to restrictions still in place globally, we are not currently able to offer the following services: Super Priority Visa, Priority Visa Service (visit) or Priority Visa for settlement or migration Service.
We strongly advise all customers to purchase Courier Return of their documents, so they do not have to visit the Visa Application Centre again, after a decision is made. If a decision has been made on your application, and you need to collect your passport from the Visa Application Centre, we will be contacting you to arrange this.
We will continue to monitor the situation and post updates on this page.
From 8 June, there will be new rules in place for entering the UK because of coronavirus (COVID-19). Please check the latest information before you travel at gov.uk/uk-border-control.
Thank you for your understanding.
