Hi there! I'm getting ready to apply for a UK WHVisa, and am concerned about the new biometric data collection. as I understand it, you have to go in person, but the nearest location they list is 1500km away from me! Is there any other way to do it, or a phone number to ask that doesn't cost over $3/minute? Or will I just have to suck it up and book a flight out (ouch!)? Thanks for any info.

AS far as I'm aware all biometric data has to be collected in person, which means unfortunately you'll have to find a way to get to your nearest center. Sad Sorry this isn't much help.

You could always attempt e-mailing them instead of calling however you will have more luck getting a straight answer from them if you call. I've had too many problems communicating with them via e-mail to whole heartedly recommend it. but it does cost less.

Thanks for replying. I was afraid someone would say that, it seems to be the consensus of all the information I've found, and the gist of the (very round-about) reply to my email. Oh, well, I guess it's an excuse to travel this spring break!
