Planning a short stay in the United Kingdom for tourism, visiting family, business meetings, or medical reasons often requires a UK visitor visa. At Visa Positive, we specialise in providing clear and practical guidance to make this application process as straightforward as possible. Our approach combines careful eligibility assessment with document preparation and review, helping visitors present a complete and compliant application.

What Is a UK Visitor Visa?

A UK visitor visa allows nationals who require a visa to enter the United Kingdom for temporary stays generally up to six months. This visa category covers a variety of purposes, including leisure travel, family visits, attending business engagements, or receiving medical treatment. Applicants must demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to support their stay, evidence of travel plans or accommodation arrangements, and a clear intention to return home at the end of the visit. While on this visa, holders must not undertake paid work or use public funds. Extensions are rare and usually permitted only in exceptional circumstances.

Eligibility Criteria

Financial and Travel Requirements

To qualify for a UK visitor visa, applicants must show they can support themselves financially during the intended stay. This includes proof of funds to cover living costs, travel expenses, and accommodation. Applicants should also present clear travel plans, such as flight bookings or hotel reservations, and evidence of ties to their home country that demonstrate intent to return after the visit.

Supporting Documents

Typical documents include a valid passport, recent bank statements, letters from employers confirming leave, and any invitation letters from family or business contacts in the UK. Additional evidence may be required for specific purposes, such as medical treatment confirmation or details of scheduled business activities.
