Vaf4A Form PDF Details

In navigating the complexities of applying for family settlement in the United Kingdom from abroad, the Personal details form (VAF4A) for November 2018 embodies a crucial starting point. Explicitly tailored for use outside of the UK and available at no charge, the form comprises a comprehensive framework designed to capture essential personal, familial, and travel information from applicants. It necessitates completion in English using either blue or black ink and enjoins applicants to adhere strictly to the accompanying guidance notes, thereby ensuring the submission of accurate and complete information. The form warns of the potential for decisions to be made based on the provided information alone, underlining the importance of including all relevant original documents for the Entry Clearance Officer's review. Highlighting the consequences of submitting false documentation or providing misleading information, the form serves as a vital interface between the applicant and the Home Office, with instructions for those lacking certain documents to explain the absences rather than resort to falsehood. Additionally, the form underscores the necessity of including the correct appendix to prevent delays, sets forth the privacy terms under which personal data will be handled, and outlines the applicant's rights and recourse under the Data Protection Act 2018. The structured format, encompassing sections on personal details, passport information, contact details, and familial relationships, seeks to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the applicant's circumstances, ensuring Entry Clearance Officers are well-informed in their decision-making processes.

The Home Office may take a decision on your application based on the information contained here without interviewing you.

It is your decision how you satisfy the Entry Clearance Officer that your intentions are as you state in your application. Further guidance on supporting documents can be found on our website. It is better to explain why you do not have a document to submit than to submit a false document. Your application may be refused if you use a false document, lie or withhold relevant information.

Please ensure that you also complete and submit the correct Appendix with your application, failure to do so will delay your application.

The Home Office will use the personal information you provide to consider your application.

Part 11 Declaration

I declare that the information given on this form whether input by myself or input on my behalf by a third party is complete and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that I may be required to provide a record of my fingerprints and a photograph of my face ("biometric data") as part of my application. I confirm that if, before this application is decided, there is a material change in my circumstances or new information relevant to this application becomes available, I will inform the United Kingdom diplomatic mission handling my application.

I understand that all information provided by me will be processed by the Home Office in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. I am aware that the Home Office is the data controller in relation to the information provided by me in this application form. I am aware that the information I provide, including biometric data, will be treated in confidence, but it may be disclosed to other government departments, agencies, local authorities, foreign governments, and other bodies, to enable the Home Office or those bodies to perform their functions. Any disclosures will be in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. I also understand that the information provided by me may also be used for staff training purposes.

I declare that the documents that I have supplied with this application are genuine and the statements I have made with this application are truthful. I understand that the Home Office (or a trusted third party) may make reasonable checks to confirm the accuracy and authenticity of evidence I have provided and documents I have submitted with this application. I further understand that the Home Office (or a trusted third party) may also make reasonable checks on any sponsors to my application to verify statements contained in the application and establish that I will comply or have complied with the terms of any visa granted.

I understand that UK entry clearance applications may be handled by British Missions in other locations, including outside the country in which I have applied for entry clearance and that this may involve the transferring of my application and supporting documents to and from another Mission. I understand that the Home Office will be responsible for transferring my application and supporting documents safely. I understand in these circumstances my application will still be handled in line with Home Office published customer service standards.

I understand that the fee payable is for an application processing and entry clearance decision-making service, not for the guaranteed delivery of a visa, therefore I will not be entitled to a refund should my application for entry to the UK or Commonwealth and Overseas Territories be refused or granted for a shorter time period than I applied for. I also understand that my visa application fee will be refunded only if the application is withdrawn in writing within 3 months and 7 days of the original date of application and prior to the submission of biometric data or any processing taking place.

I also understand that the information provided by me, or information made available to the Home Office during the processing of my application, may be shared with my sponsor(s) or any person(s) acting on their behalf or any applicant linked to my application (for example to my spouse / partner if we apply for visas for a trip together) for the sole purpose of considering my application. I am aware that if there is anyinformation I do not want you to disclose to them I will tell you by enclosing a letter with my supporting documentation. If such requests prevent you from making legitimate inquiries, my application may be refused.

I am also aware that my application will be automatically refused and I may be banned from going to the UK for 10 years if I use a false document, lie or withhold relevant information. I may also be banned if I have breached immigration laws in the UK. I am further aware that should I use a false document, lie or withhold relevant information my details may be passed to law enforcement agencies.

Page 22 of 32

Personal details (VAF4A November 2018)

I understand that I may be required to provide a record of my fingerprints and a photograph of my face (“biometric data”) as part of my application. If I refuse to do so, my application may be treated as invalid

and, if so, will not be considered further. (See Statutory Instrument 2006 No 1743 - The Immigration (Provision of Physical Data) Regulations 2006, Regulation 7(1)).

I understand that providing biometric information as part of an application is confirmation of consent to having biometric information checked at the UK border to verify identity. Where I am applying for entry to the UK, I accept that the payment of an Immigration Health Surcharge may be required. I understand that separate rules governing whether the Surcharge is applicable and when a refund would be due are available via the visas and immigration pages of the GOV.UK website. I am aware that I may be billed for any NHS medical treatment undertaken in the UK and that I do not have recourse to public funds during my stay in the UK.

I understand that if I fail to pay NHS debts incurred by me this could adversely affect future entry clearance applications I make.

I understand that my details may, in certain circumstances, be passed to fraud prevention agencies to prevent and detect fraud and money laundering. I also understand that such agencies may provide the Home Office with information about me. Further details explaining when information may be passed to or from fraud prevention agencies and how that information may be used can be obtained from the Home Office website.

I am aware that it is an offence under the Immigration Act 1971 (as amended) to make a statement which I know to be false, or not believe to be true, in order to obtain a visa/entry clearance to the UK.

I hereby apply for a visa/entry clearance to the United Kingdom.

Information for sponsors and their partners

Personal information which is provided about a person acting in support of an application, includingany documentary evidence provided by or about them, will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 by the Home Office, which is the data controller in relation to the information provided. In the case of an application made by or on behalf of a child, such a sponsor includes the applicant's parent or relative. The Home Office will use this information to make decisions about the application and to prevent and detect fraud. We may share this information with other government departments or agencies, local and public authorities, foreign governments, companies (including financial and utility companies), employers or other bodies in order to make reasonable checks to verify the information provided in the application and confirm that sponsors have or will comply with the terms of any visa which may be or have been granted. We may make checks on sponsors and their partner, where appropriate, against our records and with other government departments or law enforcement agencies. Any information received by the Home Office about a sponsor or their partner may be used in reaching a decision on the application. We may also disclose details about a sponsor or their partner to the applicant. Full details of the way in which the data may be processed can be found in the privacy notice on the GOV.UK website. I confirm that, where I have a sponsor and where my sponsor has a partner, I have informed them of the information set out above and they have confirmed that they consent to me providing the information about them which is set out in this application and are aware that further checks may be made.
