Are passports mailed to uk for visas

In the UK, the process of obtaining a visa and receiving a passport with a visa varies depending on the type of visa and the country you're applying to. Here's a general overview:

For UK citizens:

• If you're applying for a visa from the UK, you'll typically need to attend an appointment at a UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) application centre to submit your application and biometric data (fingerprints).
• Once your application is processed, your passport will be returned to you at the application centre, usually within a few days or weeks, depending on the type of visa and the workload of the application centre.
• If you've applied for a visa online, you may be able to collect your passport from a post office or have it returned to you by courier, depending on the service you selected.

For non-UK citizens:

• If you're a non-UK citizen applying for a visa from the UK, you may need to attend an appointment at a visa application centre or submit your application by post.
• In some cases, you may be able to apply online and have your passport returned to you by courier or collect it from a post office.
• However, it's more common for non-UK citizens to need to attend an appointment at a visa application centre, where your passport will be collected and returned to you once the visa is granted.

Important notes:

• Make sure to check the specific requirements for your visa application, as the process may vary depending on the country you're applying to and the type of visa you're applying for.
• If you're applying for a visa, you'll typically need to provide a valid passport with at least six months' validity from the date of your intended departure from the UK.
• It's always a good idea to check the UKVI website or contact the relevant embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date information on visa application processes and requirements.

I hope that helps!
