ENQUIRIES AND APPLICATIONS

HOW TO APPLY

To apply to join the British Army, everyone will at some stage have an interview with an Army Careers Adviser (ACA), either in a careers office or by special appointment.  Filling in this online application form will help speed up that process by enabling us to partially complete your actual application form.  However don’t worry if you cannot complete this online form, you can still complete the entire process in an office or with an ACA.

FOREIGN & COMMONWEALTH NATIONALS

Please note that the Overseas Cell has closed and no further Regular Soldier or Regular Officer applications from Foreign and Commonwealth Nationals will be processed online. Therefore with immediate effect all such applications are to be made in person at a recruiting office only once you're in the UK.

Also note we can't assess your eligibility until an application is complete, so check the "Notes for Commonwealth Applicants'" and the AFCO Form 5 notes first as your travel to the UK is undertaken at your own risk. Furthermore, the British Army cannot assist with applications for visas and an invitation for interview does not guarantee your eligibility for a visa. All officer Applicants must ensure that they meet all the Education and Residency requirements in the 'Can I Join' section of the website first.
