The Standard Visitor visa is for short visits for tourism, seeing family, business meetings, or short-term study, usually for up to six months. Whether you need it depends on your nationality: visa nationals (including Indian passport holders) must get it before travel, while non-visa nationals normally use an ETA instead.
Visitors coming to the UK for tourism, family visits, business, or short courses for up to six months. Visa nationals (including Indian citizens) must apply for this visa in advance.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
You can usually stay for up to 6 months per visit. Longer stays are only allowed in limited cases, such as for medical treatment or as an academic visitor.
Common reasons include not proving you will leave the UK, weak financial evidence, or appearing to use repeat visits to live in the UK long term.
You can do short-term study and recreational courses of up to 30 days, but longer or formal study needs a Student visa.
No. You cannot do paid or unpaid work for a UK company or as a self-employed person, though limited business activities and certain 'permitted paid engagements' are allowed.
