What Is the UK Standard Visitor Visa?
The UK Standard Visitor Visa is for people who want to come to the UK for a short stay, usually up to 6 months. It covers tourism, visiting family and friends, certain business activities, and some short‑term study or medical treatment. Although it may seem straightforward, visitor visa applications are often refused where the Home Office is not satisfied about the purpose of the visit, financial support or intention to return home.
