Visitor Visa
Visitor visas are often refused when caseworkers are not satisfied you will leave the UK or that your purpose is genuine. Clear ties to your home country and a consistent travel history help.
Fees, processing times, and Immigration Rules are set by UKVI and published on GOV.UK. We help you apply the rules to your facts in consultation — website text is not a substitute for checking official sources.
Who this is for
- Tourism, visiting family, or short business meetings
- Academic visitors or short courses within permitted limits
- Applicants who must apply for a visa before travel (nationals who are not visa-free)
Typical requirements
- Evidence of funds without relying on work in the UK
- Ties to home country — employment, property, family, or study
- A credible itinerary and invitation letters where appropriate
- Disclosure of previous UK visits, refusals, or removals
- Translations and format requirements for supporting documents
Common refusal risks
- Prior overstays or frequent/long visits suggesting residence
- Weak financial evidence or unclear purpose
- Inconsistent answers across applications or interviews
How we support
- Visitor cover letter and evidence index
- Bank statements and employment letters structured for decision-makers
- Guidance on permitted activities (no work, study limits)
- Repeat visit strategy after a previous refusal
