About UK Standard Visitor Visa to UK

The UK Standard Visitor Visa is typically used for tourism, visiting family and friends, business trips, attending meetings or conferences, as well as some short studies. It is a visa and not an electronic travel authorization like ETA.

The application must be made before departure to the UK. In most cases, the applicant will also need to provide biometric data at a visa centre.

The visa is valid for up to 6 months. Depending on your situation, the visa may be issued as Single Entry or Multiple Entry. During the permitted period of stay, you can stay in the UK for up to 180 days. The visa cannot normally be extended inside the UK.

You will need the following documents to apply:

• Completed visa application
• Copy of passport information page
• The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
• Visa photo
• Documents proving the purpose of the trip
• Documents showing that you have sufficient financial means for your stay
• Documents proving ties to the country of origin

The UK can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
