This is/was the new link all about visas at the british embassy in Santo Domingo
http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?...=1168350332874
However it now says it has been archived!!! if you go to the fco (foreign and commonwealth office) site and put in Dominican Republic you need a password and user name???
However this link
*Dominican Republic
takes you to the British embassy in Santo Domingo website and there it says
New UKVisa application process
From Friday 11 January, applicants can lodge their applications on-line via the Visa4UK online application. 11 January is also the last day for applications to be submitted under the current arrangements of the British Embassy in Santo Domingo. That is for applicants to come to the Embassy without an appointment to submit their entire application, pay the visa fee and give their fingerprints. However, after 11 January, applying on-line, as well as paying and making an appointment on-line, via the visa4uk online application will be the only way to apply for a UK visa.And then you get forwarded to the Visa online site I posted above.
Clear as mud???? I think you download the papers online then get all your bits together, hand them in at the embassy then they send them to New York, then New York sends them back and then you go and pick up visa or not and do fingerprint.
I am sure it will take longer but who knows. Hope that helps.
