Standard Visitor Visa
The UK Standard Visitor Visa allows tourism, visiting family and friends, short-term study up to 6 months, and certain business activities. The application is entirely online with biometrics submitted at a UKVI Visa Application Centre. The UK is outside Schengen, so it requires a separate visa from the Schengen Zone.
Complete the online visa application on the Gov.uk portal and pay the visa fee.
Enrol biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) at a UK Visa Application Centre near you.
Submit supporting documents at the VAC or upload online as directed.
UKVI processes the application. Standard: 3 weeks; Priority: 5 business days.
Your passport with visa vignette is returned by courier or for VAC collection.
Complete document review, expert guidance, and end-to-end support for your United Kingdom visit.
Priority visa service available at GBP 250 additional charge for faster processing.
