北京访友签证过程
11月26日，早上10点快递送来了英国大使馆的信件，一个淡绿色的大信封，厚厚的，签字接受时的心情好忐忑啊。昨天中午在网上查询了自己的进程， 还写着“已经送至大使馆。”没想到这么快就有了结果。打开那个信封，瞧了瞧没看见在签证申请中心看见的那种前顺利签过的大牛皮纸信封，外面订着个“美国运 通支票的广告”，心里好沮丧，马上拿出护照，一看在第13页上贴上了我梦寐以求的小纸片，好开心啊，要和大家分享一下心得，希望对还在奋斗中的兄弟姐妹有 所帮助。
我准备材料大约花了10天，11月24送的材料，11月25签的，11月26收到。北京。
11月24中 午去的东环广场英国签证申请中心，由于是吃饭时间人很少，门口站了几个穿西服的年轻男子，在和客人轻声说话，看到我，问我是送材料的么，我说是，他就给了 我一张淡蓝色的小纸片，上面写着“xxxx号，预约面试”，我挺紧张的，就问他免费的申请表在哪里，他说怎么你没填申请表么？我说，不是啊，不是网站上要 求申请表双面打印，我打得单面的，他说没问题啊，我说你还是给我一张吧，那个帅哥很无奈的拿一份复印的申请表给我，笑笑。我认为他是在笑话我小题大做，那 么紧张，赫赫。
这个复印的申请表还不如我自己在家彩打的呢，就是不放心才来申请中心填写的，结果就是整个申请中心就看见我趴在桌 上填了半天表，在签证咨询MM,保安等等工作人员的众目睽睽之下-----------之前观察了一下发现进门第一张桌子的MM态度比较好，所以选择了坐 那张桌子，结果感觉还算正确。MM先是问我要照片和申请表，只要一张照片哦，因为照片要求很严格，所以前一天晚上我在家裁了半天，一定要注意照片上头和顶 端至少要有0。5cm的距离，不然你就花35块在那边照去吧。申请表她会帮你检查是否填写完全，我就是有一项问“你预计什么时候到达英国”只填了个 12/05，她让我说一个大约的日子，我就说10号吧，她就帮我写上了。然后就是照着网上要求的材料一项一项收，顺序无所谓的，我是个人资料 -------财力证明---------邀请人材料。建议大家准备材料时参照大使馆的要求，比较具体，不要看大使馆的材料，我就是因为在大使馆网页下载 了03版的申请表，前一天晚上才发现换的04版。
请注意：所有材料都要有原件和复印件，除非你的原件不要了，可以只有原件，但是不建议这 种方法，你的邀请人的部分资料肯定是复印件了。她们会收你所有提供的材料，不嫌多，我当时还问MM有没有必要出示我的购房合同，因为她要我翻译购房合同， 她说提供了会对签证有利的，所以我就跑去一块钱一张复印了整本合同加上了原件，购房发票和翻译件。（小插曲是我的学生证和购房合同没翻译，MM好心说我不 用花钱用他们提供的翻译服务，自己翻译就行，因为300字以内是75大元，300字以上是110大元，我当时好紧张，一下觉得自己就是个英语盲，生怕我翻 译坏了被拒了，所以宁愿花钱让他们翻译了。
哈哈，大家可要事前做好准备哦），材料都收齐了以后MM会把原件和复印件分开放在两个袋子里， 最后放进一个黑色的大袋子，问你选择快递服务么，我问若不选择会怎样，她说就是自己来拿，然后在网上查询需要交费什么的，我也没听很清楚，总之我选了快 递，交50大元，之后给你个缴费表，和核对的材料清单，所以大家不用自己写材料清单了，不要的。之后是到一个窗口去算钱，然后去另一个窗口交费，若你没有 用他们的翻译服务，就直接去交钱了，算钱就是算翻译的字数呢，之后要到一个递材料的窗口确认交材料，最后给你几张单子，上面有收据，和查询号码等等，可以 到英国大使馆的官方网站上面查询进程。
以上是签证过程，下面说我的材料准备。
我是在读研究生二年级，我男朋友在英国读博士，明年毕业，我是要去过圣诞和过我的生日和过年。我准备的材料如下：
1，签证申请表 护照
2，护照照片
3，在读证明和准假证明
4，学生证
5，户口本

上海申请英国自助游签证之攻略(附文件)（推荐）
作者 LIJUNJ 来源 磨坊
列一下从上海申请英国的签证材料清单，供后来者参考：
递交签证前，可以从英国签证中心下载清单：
http://www.vfs-uk-cn.com/chinese/index.aspx
1、完整的签证申请表格
2、签证费用
3、照片（2张2寸的白背景3.5cm x 4.5 cm照片）
4、邀请人的信函
5、邀请人在英国的定居状况证明（学生？公民？...）
6、资金证明
7、申请者的在职和假期证明
8、户口本
9、资金来源证明（至少涵盖过去6个月）
10、旅行的行程安排、预定（酒店、飞机车船预定票）
咋一看，傻眼了。我在英国没有任何亲人，如何让人家发邀请函？后来在经办的过程中才发现原来，即使你没有任何来自英国的邀请函件，你也是能够申请的。就这一点，目前，在官方的和签证中心的网站上都没有明确说明。但是确实是可以申请的。
我，一头小驴，作为第一次去欧洲的中国护照持有者，没有任何来自英国国内的邀请和担保，自助通过以下准备的文件，得到6个月的多次往返签证：
我准备了：
1、完整的签证申请表格 （表格比较简单，填清楚了，就行了。其中有一栏是：你还有什么话对签证馆要说的，我就描述了自己
去过的一些地方，而且表明自己的目的：backpacker，西方文化里有年轻时backpacker去世界各地的传统，所以backpacker的经历
应该会引起他们的某些共鸣）
2、签证费用（1000大洋左右）
3、照片（2张2寸的白背景3.5cm x 4.5 cm照片） 找个数码照相馆照了就行了
4、资金证明
A. 一份有存款的存折大概4万左右，对帐单打清楚。
B. 一份银行存款证明5万，非常简单，所有的银行都能办，其实就是冻结你的那部分存款）
5、申请者的在职和假期证明 （请看我的附件）
6、户口本 （英文的翻译，请查看我的附件）
7、资金来源证明（至少涵盖过去6个月：我提供了过去6个月的工资表，需要公司章。请查看附件。过去3个月的信用卡对帐单，）
8、旅行的行程安排、预定（酒店（网络预定 http://en.venere.com/?ref=118096 他们家会将确认的函件发到你的邮箱，你打印出来就行了，他们
有取消的policy，如果你在一定期间内取消，他们不会从你的信用卡中扣走钱）、飞机车船预定票（需要飞往伦敦的来回预定单，
你直接到上海徐家汇路的签证中心办公室一个角落，一家航空公司代理点，他们可以给你出预定单，免费的）
