The UK Standard Visitor visa covers short visits to the UK for tourism, seeing family or friends, or permitted business activities — usually for up to six months.
When you need one
Nationals of many countries (“visa nationals”) must apply for a Standard Visitor visa before travelling to the UK. Whether you need one depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip, so we check this against the official UK government rules before you apply.
What we help with
- Confirming whether you need a visa and the right visitor category
- Completing the online application accurately
- Preparing supporting documents — funds, ties to your home country, accommodation and itinerary
- Drafting a clear cover or invitation letter where it helps
- Booking your biometric appointment
What to prepare
- A valid passport
- Evidence of your travel plans and accommodation
- Proof you can support yourself during the visit
- Evidence of your ties to your home country (work, study or family)
