The UK Standard Visitor visa is used for holidays, family visits and short business trips. You can usually stay for up to 6 months on each visit.
Step 1: Apply online
Fill in the application form on GOV.UK and pay the visa fee. Answer every question carefully — your answers must match your documents.
Step 2: Book your appointment
After paying, book a slot at the visa application centre to give your fingerprints and photo.
Step 3: Prepare your documents
- Valid passport and old passports
- Bank statements and proof of income
- Employment letter or business documents
- Travel plan and accommodation details
- Invitation letter if you are visiting family or friends
Any document not in English needs a certified English translation.
Step 4: Attend your appointment
Bring your printed documents. Your passport may be kept while the application is decided.
