UK Standard Visitor Visa at a glance

The UK Standard Visitor visa covers tourism, visiting family and friends, and certain short business activities. Stays are usually up to six months.

You apply online on GOV.UK and then give your biometrics at a visa application centre.

Work, study beyond what the visa allows, and living in the UK on a visitor visa are not permitted. The official rules list what you may do.

Documents a United Kingdom visitor file usually needs

Identity and travel plan

  • Valid passport and previous passports with travel history
  • Itinerary and details of where you will stay
  • Invitation letter and host’s details if you are visiting family or friends

Finances and ties

  • Bank statements that explain your income and savings
  • Employment, business or study proof showing you will return
  • Property, family or other ties to India

Supporting items

  • Documents translated into English where needed
  • Previous visa history and any refusals, declared honestly
  • Details of who is paying for the trip

The exact list depends on your profile and the official rules on the day you apply. We tell you what applies to you after a short profile review.

Common reasons United Kingdom visitor applications get refused

  • Funds that look borrowed or recently deposited without explanation
  • Unclear purpose or a plan that does not match your profile
  • Not enough evidence that you will leave the UK at the end of the visit
  • Earlier refusals or overstays not declared
  • Inconsistencies between the form and your supporting documents

Most of these are avoidable with an honest, consistent file. We review yours for these gaps before anything is submitted.
