Travelling to the UK? Whether for fun, family, or business, the UK Visit Visa lets you step inside and explore.
UK Visit Visa explained
A UK Visit Visa, officially called a Standard Visitor Visa, allows people to travel to the United Kingdom for a short stay. It is meant for tourism, visiting family or friends, short business activities, academic reasons, medical treatment, or passing through the UK on the way to another country. This visa usually allows you to stay in the UK for up to 6 months, though longer-term visit visas (2, 5, or 10 years) are available for frequent travelers. You must leave the UK before your visa expires and cannot work or live permanently while on this visa.
Good to Know
- •You cannot work, claim public funds, or stay longer than allowed
- •You must prove that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit
- •Your visa can be refused if you do not provide enough proof of your purpose or funds
- •If you are from a visa-free country, you may need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) before travel
