Where and how do I collect my UK visa in Germany?

score:3

Accepted answer

Traveller provided a link to a helpful government site. Indeed, here it is written

If your application is successful

You’ll be given either:

  • a sticker (called a vignette) that goes in your passport - if you gave your biometric information at a visa application centre
  • access to view your immigration status information online - if you used the smartphone app to prove your identity

The latter bullet point then applies to me.

The reason that I have not immediately checked GOV.UK for this information was, that I somehow thought that distributing the "physical visa" is the job of the German state. I know better now.


Another relevant fact that I just learned about my case: if I travel through the UK border, I do not need to present any data (such as a QR code on my mobilde device etc.), but the immigration status information is automatically available to the relevant personnel.
