英国签证预约需要先在网上支付全额签证费，如果网上付款后，申请人决定取消申请，必须在英国领馆官网的申请退款，但手续繁琐，且退款时间不固定，也可能出现无法退款的结果。
1、 英国签证在预约前需要收齐全额款项;
2、 已经成功预约的订单，如果取消，一定要告知真实原因，领馆可能会电话调查，领馆可能会因为取消原因不够充分而不退款。
英国旅游签证需要6个月的银行流水账单，余额3万以上，如果不够，有2种解决办法。
一，你有充足的准备时间，然后每月固定时间往银行卡里转钱，正常消费，多存少取，6个月后留3万以上的余额
二、没有时间准备了，很快就要用，那么这种情况只有一种办法了，就是直接找人做一份了，很多人银行流水不够都去了英国，法国，德国，日本等，就是通过这种操作来完成了，签证行业已经很常见了。

This page explains how you should apply for a Replacement BRP visa if you are outside the UK and your UK biometric residence permit has been lost, stolen or damaged because someone has tampered with it.
(If you are inside the UK and your UK biometric residence permit has been lost, stolen or damaged because someone has tampered with it, please see the Permit-holders' responsibilities page.)
If you are outside the UK, you must immediately email BRPLost@homeoffice.gsi.gov.ukso that we can cancel your biometric residence permit. In your email you should state:
your full name;
your date of birth;
your nationality;
your passport number;
your biometric residence permit reference number;
your case reference number;
your contact details; and
when, where and how the permit was lost, stolen or damaged.
when you plan to return to the UK.
If you do not provide all this information, there may be a delay in answering your query.
You must also report the loss or theft to the police, and get a police report and crime reference number, as soon as possible.
You must then apply for a Replacement BRP visa, which you can use once to return to the UK. The visa does not replace your lost or stolen biometric residence permit.
When you arrive back in the UK, you will need to apply for a new biometric residence permit - see the Permit-holders' responsibilities page for more information.
How to apply for the visa
Depending on where you live, you may be able to make your visa application online or by printing out and completing application form VAF9. You can find out which method(s) you can use under 'More information' below.
You can download application form VAF9 and guidance notes from the right side of this page.
If you apply online, select 'Others' under the question 'Purpose of application'. In section 7 of the application, state that you are 'applying for a Replacement BRP visa because you have lost or had your BRP stolen'.
As part of your application, you must provide your passport and a police report as evidence that your permit has been reported missing, stolen or tampered with.
