Applications by post
POSTAL APPLICATIONS
Only permanent residents of France, the DOM TOM , Monaco and from 1 December 2004, Luxembourg, may send applications by post. In this case the fee should be in the form of euro mandat-cash or payment on-line accessible through the 'on-line' application form. The mandat cash should be made payable to the British Embassy Paris and include the visa fee plus the handling/postage charge of 18.00€(dito lang ako bayad, reklamo pa Fafa ko!)

Please note that we do not accept cheques. Never send cash by post. Unless you have recently been issued with a visa, it is recommended that you apply and pay for only a six month validity visa, as we cannot refund in cases of overpayment.
