A Complete Guide to Applying for a UK Visit Visa

What is a UK Visit Visa?

A UK Visit Visa, also known as a Standard Visitor Visa, allows foreign nationals to enter the UK for a short stay, typically up to six months. It covers purposes such as:

• Tourism and holidays
  
  

• Visiting friends and family
  
  

• Business meetings or conferences
  
  

• Short academic or training courses
  In some cases, longer validity options (2, 5, or 10 years) are available for frequent travellers, though each visit usually cannot exceed six months.
  
  

Key Eligibility Requirements

To qualify, applicants must demonstrate that:

• They intend to leave the UK after their visit.
  
  

• They have sufficient funds to cover expenses without relying on public funds.
  
  

• They can provide proof of accommodation and travel arrangements.
  
  

• Their reason for travel falls within the permitted categories.
  
  

Supporting documents such as bank statements, invitation letters, or business confirmation letters often strengthen the application.

Application Process

The visa application is submitted online, followed by an appointment at a visa application centre to provide biometrics and supporting documents. Processing times can vary, so early application is advised—especially during peak travel seasons. Having professional support can help minimise delays or refusals due to missing information.
