Important Updates to UK Visa System for Jordanian Citizens

The British diplomatic mission in Amman announced significant changes to the United Kingdom’s visa system aimed at simplifying travel procedures for Jordanian citizens.

Philip Hall, the British Ambassador to Jordan, explained that these updates will apply to all applications submitted from now on.

Visa applications will continue to be submitted online as before, but a new step has been added requiring applicants to create a UKVI account on the website after receiving their application reference number.

Once the visa is approved, travelers must log into their account to obtain a “share code,” a mandatory step for every trip to the UK. This process facilitates entry and ensures the protection of applicants’ data.

The Ambassador emphasized that the new system is designed to be safer for both travelers and UK authorities. There will be no need for the traditional visa sticker in passports, meaning Jordanians will not have to leave their passports at visa centers, making trip planning faster and easier.

These changes are part of the UK’s efforts to modernize travel procedures and improve the experience for applicants from Jordan, while maintaining the highest standards of security and transparency.
