Visitors who plan to visit the UK for vacation, family visits, private medical treatment, or for business purposes, such as attending conferences or participating in sports or creative events, are eligible for the standard visitor visa.
REQUIREMENTS
- In order to be granted a visa, applicants must meet the following general requirements.

- Plan to leave the country at the end of my stay here
- Will not stay in the UK for long periods of time or make it their primary residence;
Have the means to cover all reasonable costs of the visit without working or relying on public funds, and will not engage in any prohibited activities during their stay. The United Kingdom Individuals with a Visit Visa can visit friends and family, engage in legal business activities e.g seek investment for a new venture, join business meetings. Also can attest short training or workshops for up to 30 days, participate in exchange programmes or educational visits, transit through the UK, receive private medical treatment, or formalise a civil partnership into marriage. This visa, on the other hand, does not allow for long-term residency in the United Kingdom, employment, marriage or civil partnership, or claiming public funds.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: CAN I MARRY AND GIVE NOTICE ON A STANDARD VISITOR VISA?
A: The standard visitor visa does not allow notice or registration of marriage in the UK. Solely for marriage, applicants must apply for either a Fiance or a Marriage visitor visa.
Q: WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON VISA REFUSAL REASONS?
A: We have seen many refusals due to applicants having inconsistent bank deposits, not proportionate to income, lack of economic incentives to return, etc.
Q: CAN I BRING MY FAMILY WITH ME?
A: Applicants may apply and travel as a family group, but must submit separate applications and pay the appropriate fees.
Q: CAN I EXTEND MY VISIT VISA AND STAY LONGER?
A: It is normally granted for 6 months, unless it is for 2,5 or 10 years. There is no maximum period of stay in the UK, such as ‘6 months in 12 months’. The Home Office may refuse entry or future applications if a person’s travel history shows they are making the UK their main home. The UK visitor visa can be extended in exceptional circumstances.
Q: MY VISIT VISA APPLICATION WAS REFUSED
A: The applicant should try to understand the refusal and provide more evidence to resolve the issues. If so, start over. A visit visa application cannot be appealed unless it involves or raises human rights issues that are not clearly unfounded. No right of appeal and the decision is incorrect or contrary to the rules? The applicant may challenge it via judicial review.
