Visa route 01
Visit the UK for a holiday, to see family and friends, attend business meetings or take a short course. We help you show a clear purpose for your trip and the evidence to support it.
Overview
The Standard Visitor visa covers most short trips to the UK. It is usually granted for up to six months, and longer-term visas of 2, 5 or 10 years are available for frequent visitors.
Decision makers look closely at why you are travelling, how you will pay for the trip, and whether you will return home afterwards. A well-organised application answers those questions clearly.

Yes. A family member or friend can invite you and offer to cover some costs. They should provide an invitation letter and evidence of their own status and finances.
Usually yes. Where the refusal was straightforward, for example because of missing or unclear evidence, we go through the refusal letter with you and help you prepare a stronger fresh application. If the refusal involved deception, credibility or a difficult immigration history, we refer you to a suitably qualified higher-level adviser.
