UK Standard Visitor Visa: Tourism, Business & Family Visits

---

The Standard Visitor Visa allows you to visit the UK for up to 6 months. Whether you are coming for tourism, to visit family, to attend business meetings, or for medical treatment, this visa covers a wide range of permitted activities.

What You Can Do on a Visitor Visa

• Tourism: sightseeing, attending events, and exploring the UK
• Visit family and friends living in the UK
• Attend business meetings, conferences, and training sessions
• Receive private medical treatment at a UK hospital or clinic
• Take part in academic research or examinations
• Short-term study: courses of up to 6 months
• Take part in sports events, performances, or creative activities

What You Cannot Do

• Work or be employed in the UK (paid or unpaid)
• Live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits
• Access public funds or the NHS (except emergency treatment)

How to Apply

Apply online through the UK Visas and Immigration website. You will need to attend a biometric appointment at a visa application centre in your country. Standard processing takes approximately 3 weeks, with priority and super-priority options available.

Long-Term Visit Visa

If you visit the UK regularly, you can apply for a 2-year, 5-year, or 10-year long-term visit visa. Each visit is still limited to 6 months, but you do not need to reapply each time. This is ideal for parents visiting children, business travellers, or frequent tourists.
