What Is a UK Visitor Visa?

The Standard Visitor Visa allows non-UK nationals to enter the UK temporarily for up to 6 months. It covers several categories including:

• Tourist Visa – for holidays, sightseeing, or visiting friends.
• Family Visitor Visa – to reunite with family members or attend family events.
• Business Visitor Visa – for meetings, conferences, or negotiations.
• Medical Visitor Visa – for private medical treatment in the UK.
• Short Study Visa – for training or courses lasting under 6 months.

Why Legal Guidance Matters

The Home Office reviews each visitor application carefully to ensure the applicant is a genuine visitor. Even minor mistakes — such as unclear financial evidence or weak travel explanations — can lead to delays or refusals. Our legal support ensures that:

• All documents meet UK immigration standards.
• Your reason for travel is clearly explained in a professional cover letter.
• Financial and accommodation evidence is complete and credible.
• Every requirement of the Immigration Rules is met accurately.
