UK visa application support
If you or a family member need to apply for a UK visa, the process can feel daunting: multiple routes, detailed online forms, supporting documents and biometric appointments. Schengen Travel is a UK-based consultancy that helps applicants prepare and submit UK visa applications carefully and on time.
We do not make decisions on your application — those rest with UK Visas and Immigration — and we always point you to official guidance on GOV.UK (opens in new tab) for current rules and fees, which vary by route and can change.
Common UK visa routes
Depending on why you are coming to the UK and for how long, the right route may include:
- Standard Visitor visa — for tourism, visiting family or friends, or short business activities.
- Family routes — for partners, spouses, children or other relatives joining someone settled in the UK.
- Student visa — for those with a confirmed place at a licensed sponsor.
- Work routes — including sponsored employment routes, where an employer holds a sponsor licence.
Each route has its own eligibility criteria, documents and fees, all set out by the UK government. We help you understand which one fits your circumstances before you commit time and money to an application.
What we help with
- Confirming the most suitable visa route for your purpose and timeline
- Completing the online application form accurately
- Checking and organising your supporting documents
- Drafting clear cover and sponsorship letters where appropriate
- Booking your biometric or appointment slot
- End-to-end guidance through to submission
What to prepare
Requirements differ by route, but applicants typically gather a valid passport, evidence of their circumstances and purpose of travel, and documents supporting any sponsor or financial position. We will give you a tailored checklist once we have confirmed your route, so you only collect what your specific application needs.
If you are unsure where to begin, contact us with your travel purpose and dates to start your application.
