What is a GWF Number in a UK Visa Application Form?

The GWF number (Global Web Form number) is a unique reference number assigned to your UK visa application. It is generated when you start and submit your visa application through the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) online system.

Key Points about the GWF Number:

1. Purpose:

The GWF number helps identify and track your application throughout the processing stages.

2. Where to Find It:

o It appears on your application confirmation email from UKVI.

o If you’ve applied through an official visa application center (like VFS Global), it might be on the acknowledgment receipt provided.

3. Use:

o You may need to provide the GWF number when contacting UKVI or the visa application center for updates.

o It is essential for tracking your application status or making changes to your application.

Important Notes:

• Keep your GWF number safe, as it is required for any inquiries about your visa application.

• If you cannot find your GWF number, check your email or receipt from the application process.
