UK visas remain a mandatory entry requirement for Bosnian citizens, British ambassador Matt Field confirmed, adding that these regulations are not likely to change any time soon.

Speaking to Birmingham-based news agency BHINFODESK, which provides information in Bosnian, Field said the visa-related questions are the most often requested information at the embassy in Sarajevo and that he understands this was often a reason for frustrations for Bosnian nationals.

“The Embassy shared this information with London, especially those about the possibilities to improve the process of visa applications and issuing. Although this procedure must be rigorous and just, I am glad that really a small number of visa applications from BiH is rejected,” the ambassador was quoted as saying.
