Up-to-date info on Libyan visa from London

Hiyya Ya'all,

The last time I came to Libya from UK (in 2010) it was only possible to apply for a visa in-person (due to need for fingerprints) on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and collect on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Is it still the same? Or have they updated the system?

Any news will be gratefully received.

OK. I can answer this for myself now.

The web site is at: http://ntclibya.org.uk/co/?page_id=86 but it is out of date. It asks for a Letter from employer, but this seems to be not needed now. See later.

The doors of the visa section open at 09:30 so you can go in and wait in the waiting room to be processed.

They open the window to accept applications a little later ... about 10:00.

You will need:

* Your passport.
* Application form (downloadable from the web site).
* 2 passport size photos.
* A copy of the form giving your visa number.
* The fee in cash.

I also had a "letter of invitation" but it was handed back to me and I was told that it wasn't needed.

There is not now a requirement to give finger prints.

I was told that I could collect my visa the next day between 15:00 and 16:00.

So there's the up-to-date process as of 04 07 2012.

Must you collect your final visa in person, or can you send your passport to them by post?

SeymourSunshine

Sorry. No idea on that one.

Try ringing round the visa agencies and/or ask your local travel agent. It's a real drag to have to go to London twice to do this.

I'm having a nightmare trying to get a visa.

The Libyan embassy never seems to answer the phone!
