British Passports
First Applications and Renewals
If you have a British passport which has already expired or is due to expire or if you think you are eligible to apply for a first time passport, please contact us today! If your British passport has been lost or stolen, we can help you with your British passport replacement.
Those who were born in the UK or who were born to UK born parents are the largest group of passport applicants, though there are many ways in which one can qualify for a British passport. Visa Box will provide a full and free assessment to determine whether you qualify.
Her Majesty's Passport Office in the UK (HMPO), where applications are processed and passports issued, has very strict rules regarding supporting document requirements pertaining to British passport applications. This is where we come in. We will assist you with the entire process, from start to finish, including advice and guidance regarding your supporting document requirements and online application process. We can also assist you with acquiring birth and marriage certificates from the UK General Register and SA Department of Home Affairs via our affiliate partners.
The processing time for a British passport may vary from 4-12 weeks once the application has been received by the HMPO in the UK. You can only renew your British passport if it is maroon/red in colour. If you have a blue or black passport then you would treat this as a new application and therefore the relevant documents must be included.
Are you eligible to register as a British Citizen?
Visa Box now has access to Artificial intelligence software, which was developed in the UK, and can accurately determine your eligibility for British Citizenship and other forms of British Nationality.
British nationality laws are extremely complex which means that one may qualify in more than one way for British Citizenship.
What about your family?
If the rest of your family do not have British passports or aren’t eligible for British passports, they too will have the right to immigrate with you to the UK, but on family type Settlement visas such as the UK Marriage (spouse) or UK Dependency (child) visas.
If you don’t qualify for a British passport but one of your paternal or maternal grandparents were born in the UK then you can apply for a UK Ancestry visa for you and your family (spouse/partner/child dependents under 18 years old).
Accreditation and Registrations
