A UK visit visa allows individuals to travel to the United Kingdom for short-term stays, including tourism, business, or visiting family and friends. This visa is ideal for those who wish to explore the UK or attend specific events, such as conferences or family gatherings.
Eligibility Criteria:
To be eligible for a UK Visitor Visa, you must meet the following requirements:
- Purpose of visit: Your visit should be for a specific, short-term purpose such as tourism, attending business meetings/conferences, or visiting family and friends. You must not intend to stay in the UK longer than six months on a visit visa.
- Financial requirements: You should have sufficient funds to cover your stay in the UK and your return journey, proving that you can support yourself without relying on public funds
- Accommodation: You should have accommodation arrangements in place for the duration of your stay. This can either be through a reservation at a hotel or you may be invited to stay with a relative or friend at their home address.
- Intent to Return: You must show that you plan to leave the UK at the end of your visit. Providing proof of ties to your home country, such as employment, family, or property is key to establishing proof of your intent to return.
