UK Visa Fee Payments Go Fully Online in Algeria
The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) is scrapping cash payments at visa application centres in Algeria. From now on, all visa fees must be paid online before you submit your passport and biometric details.
Cash Payments Scrapped to Streamline Process
UKVI is ditching in-person cash payments to speed up the visa application process and align Algeria with other international markets. Paying for UK visas with cash is now a thing of the past.
Safer, Smoother Digital Payments
This new global digital system means applicants can pay securely online via the official UK government website. It’s designed to be safer and more convenient for everyone applying for a UK visa.
Surge in UK Visas from Algeria
The UK remains a top destination for work, study, and travel. Over 19,000 UK visas were issued to Algerians in the year ending December 2022 – a massive 76% jump from the previous year.
UKVI apologises for any hassle caused by the change. They urge all applicants to check payment methods before starting their visa application to avoid delays.
