HSMP Entry Clearance

Getting an HSMP visa is a two step process. You must first apply for and HSMP visa and receive an approval letter from the UK Home Office.

Once you have your HSMP approval letter, you must then apply for and receive entry clearance from a UK consulate in your home country. The entry clearance takes the shape of a letter and a physical sticker in your passport that states your visa status.

Both of these steps must be done before you enter the UK. You cannot apply for an HSMP or receive entry clearance while living in the UK. If you are already in the UK when you apply for an HSMP, you should return to your home country to gain entry clearance.
