GBR — VISA

United Kingdom visa assistance

Standard visitor

The UK Standard Visitor visa covers tourism, family and business visits for up to 6 months — applied online via UKVI with biometrics at VFS. UK files are assessed on credibility: income, spending and story must line up.

Visa types

Standard Visitor (6 months)

The default for tourism & family.

Long-term visitor (2/5/10 years)

For proven frequent travellers with strong history.

Business visitor

Meetings, conferences, site visits.

Typical document checklist

  • Passport + travel history
  • Bank statements — UKVI scrutinizes income-vs-spend patterns
  • Employment letter with salary & tenure
  • Accommodation & itinerary details
  • Invitation letter if staying with hosts
◈

UKVI refusals love 'unspecified deposits' — every lump sum in your statements should have a paper trail. We annotate finances before the officer asks.
