Why doesn the Consulate in Edinburgh issue visas?
After the UK became part of the Visa Waiver Program in the late 1980’s,there was a significant reduction in the number of persons needing visas to travel and, subsequently, Edinburgh ceased to be a visa-issuing post. The State Department is currently looking at ways that advanced technology can expand the locations for visa-processing. When this change affects applicants from Scotland, we will widely publicize the service.
