Starting November 26, 2024 The UK government has decided to reinstate the visa requirement for Colombian nationals. Therefore, any Colombian wishing to travel to the UK in transit, for vacation, or to fulfill professional or academic commitments, must apply for a visa with the British authorities.
What do I need to translate to apply for a UK visa?
Basically any documentation that helps prove you are a genuine visitor entering the UK to carry out a permitted activity and that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit. Also, any support that proves that you have sufficient financial resources to support yourself and your dependants for the duration of the trip.
Finally, it is very important that you demonstrate that in addition to being able to pay for your return trip or your onward trip to another destination, you already have a clear plan: hotel reservations and airfare for the return flight.
If this documentation is not in English, you will need to ensure that you provide a complete translation, ready in PDF format, to be uploaded to the visa application website.
What requirements must a translation meet to be valid for your UK visa application?
The translation of each document must be complete (not fragments) and must be able to be independently verified by the UK Home Office. Each translation must contain:
- The version in the original language and ALSO the translation certified by a company like Traductores.co.
- Confirmation that the translation is an accurate translation of the original document.
- Date of translation.
- Name, signature or initial and stamp of the official/certified translator.
- The contact details of the translator or translation company.
- The translation must be certified by a professional translator/translation company.
