uin	196075
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>Decisions regarding the location of our visa application centres, and the <br>places in which the applications are decided, are based on a number of <br>different factors, including geography, security issues, distribution of <br>demand, political and economic impacts, as well as the financial cost. The <br>Home Office uses commercial partners to help run its network of visa <br>application centres, which are the customer-facing end of the service. Under <br>new contracts which came into effect on 1 April, we will have 340 visa <br>application points in 142 countries around the world. Applications submitted at visa <br>application centres are then sent to one of our 32 decision-making hubs for <br>consideration. <br><br>On the Consular side, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) supports <br>British nationals through the Diplomatic network of 220 Posts around the world, in 170 <br>countries. They also have a network of 230 Honorary Consuls who provide <br>support in places where the UK is not otherwise represented. Having consular <br>partners present in countries where the UK is not represented ensures British <br>nationals have immediate access to assistance. There are only three countries <br>in the world where there is no in country consular representation by the UK or <br>any of our main consular partners (EU, Australia, Canada, US or New Zealand).</p><p> </p><p>These are Palau, Sao Tome &amp; Principe and Tuvalu. In these cases, UK Travel <br>Advice instructs British nationals to seek assistance when needed through the <br>nearest country with British diplomatic representation: Philippines, Angola and <br>Fiji respectively. The FCO currently advise against all travel to Syria and <br>warn British nationals who travel there that the FCO will not be able to <br>provide them with any assistance. The FCO also advise against all but <br>essential travel to Iran and advise British nationals to seek assistance from <br>any EU Member State present in the country.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 29/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
