A UK Visit Visa allows foreign nationals to visit the UK for tourism, family visits, or short-term business trips. To apply, you’ll need to prove your intention to return to your home country after the visit. This visa typically permits a stay of up to six months, depending on the visa category.
Key documents include a valid passport, financial proof demonstrating that you can support yourself during your stay, and details of your itinerary, including where you’ll be staying. In some cases, a letter of invitation from a UK resident may strengthen your application, especially for family visits.
Processing times for this visa vary, but it’s best to apply at least three months in advance of your intended travel date. If you’re uncertain about the process, consulting an immigration solicitor can provide guidance and increase your chances of obtaining the visa without delays.
