Please note, filling in the form is only an application to the COP26 Coalition Visa Support Service. We are working hard to do everything we can to ensure that we can support as many individuals as possible, but it is possible that we won't have the capacity to assist in your case. We will let you know within 1 week of when you submitted your Support Request whether we are able to assist in your case (or 1 week from August 1st, if you applied before that date). If we have the capacity to assist you, both your visa application and your supporting documents be reviewed by a specialist immigration solicitor. You will also be given a personalised and detailed cover letter to provide to the Home Office. However, it will still be your responsibility to officially submit the final visa application to the Home Office yourself.
The service will run 1st August to 17th September 2021. The deadline to apply for the Support Service is 17th September 2021.
The questions you will see are intended to capture relevant information that will help us prioritise support for those who need it most. We will share these details with a small team within the COP26 Coalition working on visa support as well as with two lawyers who will be running the service. We will not pass on any information to anyone else.
You don't have to fill in every single question - however, the more detail you provide, the easier it will be for us to support your application.
