Its bloody hard even to get the line on this number and once you get the line it takes at least 10, 15 minutes to speak to the member of the HO. A 20 minutes call costed me £2.20 other day..

It is a disgrace what the BIA are doing with their their premium rate enquiry line - at same time eulogising the government's efforts to encourage highly skilled migrants from outside the EEA to come to the UK.

To minimise the damage call the 0870 number using one of the 6p or 7p/min access numbers listed on Martin Lewis's website http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/ukcallchecker/index.php

If you have a general question rather than progress of your application please post it, I'll see if I can answer it.

Border & Immigration Agency (BIA)
Reply #33 - Jun 20^th, 2009 at 9:36am

I have used the site to search for an alternative number to 08706067766 which I want to use to phone regarding a settlement visa (SETM). Many geographical numbers are listed including a Glasgow Office 0141 555 1258 which I used sucesfully 2 years ago. Yesterday I phoned this number to hear a receiver picked up & then footsteps moving away & a door opening & closing - seemed like to stop the phone ringing. I've phoned the other area offices including Croydon & there is either no answer or I get a pre-recorded message.

Many of these alternative BIA numbers are no longer valid. It seems thet the BIA have moved over to the 0870 numbers only. Does anyone know of a geographical number I can use to phone the BIA?

Kind regards, Simon

The 0870 number still remains for other enquiries though : http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/contact/contactspage/contactcentres/

I've done some work on the database entries for UK Border Agency. They are all renamed from UK Border & Immigration Agency to the new name.

I have removed the following numbers:

0141 555 1258 Glasgow public enquiry office; now not recognised

The following have the same recording advising that the number is "no longer active" and refers to the UK Border Agency website:

0121 704 5450 Birmingham public enquiry office
0151 237 0405 Liverpool public enquiry office

The Home Office's main 020 7035 4848 menu now no longer puts callers through when they select option 1. Instead it just reads out the 0870 number. Anyone fancy submitting a FOI request for the alternative to UKBA's 0870 606 7766 number?
