Biometric fingerprints will be a must for all those who want to go Britain in future. According to the strategy, released by UK Boarder Agency recently, all visa applicants must now give electronic fingerprints. This will be applicable for online applicants too.

Apart from it, citizens of countries like South Africa, Venezuela and some other countries will have to apply for visa under the new system. However, holders of biometric passports have been exempted in this concern. “These details are checked against police as well as immigration databases, allowing us to stop those who have previously had an adverse contact with the UK Border Agency or the police, including those who have subsequently changed their biographic identity”, the new policy says.
