Visa Type: Standard Visitor Visa
Seeing friends or relatives, business conferences, or temporary study.
Open to citizens from several nations, including non-visa nationals who need previous clearance to visit the UK.
From travel to business trips, the Standard Visitor Visa is meant to serve a broad spectrum of uses. This visa lets you engage in sightseeing, family gatherings, business associate meetings, or short course enrollment. Though this visa gives flexibility, it does not allow work or long-term visits.
Applying for a B-2 Tourist Visa requires fulfilling the following admission criteria:
Valid Passport:
Make sure your passport validates at least six months beyond your planned American stay. Your entrance and leaving depend on this.
Passport Photo:
You need a current picture fitting for U.S. visas. This should be a precisely dimensioned, crisp, color picture.
Evidence of Links to Home Country:
Offer proof—such as work verification, property ownership, or family responsibilities—that you will be returning to your native country after your trip.
Apply Online:
First start by completing the online application form accessible on the official UK government website. Make sure that the material you provide is current and correct.
Biometric Information:
Visit a visa application facility to arrange to get your fingerprints and picture taken. This phase is required and has to be completed within a certain period after application submission.
Supporting Documents:
Get and send required paperwork including vacation plans, proof of income, and lodging specifics. Depending on the reason you are visiting, more records such as a letter of invitation from a UK resident might be needed.
Attend Visa Appointment:
Visit the closest Visa Application Centre for your booked appointment and apply there. You could also have to show up for an interview during this visit, in which case you will have to justify the reason for your visit and provide more specifics.
Processing Time:
Standard processing time-frames vary based on your location and the time of year from three weeks to several months. Applying early in advance of your planned trip date helps you to prevent any delays.
Key Requirements for the Standard Visitor Visa:
- A valid passport or travel permit with minimum six months of validity beyond your intended UK stay.
- Proof of enough money to pay for your UK stay usually shown by recent bank statements or letters of financial support.
- A comprehensive schedule of your intended UK activities including hotel stays and return travel plans.
- A finished online application form meticulously completed with honest and correct facts.
- Recent passport-sized photos following UK visa picture standards.
- Provided at an approved visa application center, biometric information (fingerprints and picture).
- Proof of accomodation, including hotel bookings or a letter from a host should one be staying with friends or relatives.
Visa Application Fee:
A Standard Visitor Visa application costs £100 for a 6 month visa. If you need a visa for a longer term, say two years, the fee rises to £376, a five year visa costs £670, and a ten year visa costs £837.
Healthcare Surcharge:
Although the Standard Visitor Visa usually does not call for payment of the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), you should still give health insurance some thought during your stay. Depending on the coverage level, travel health insurance might run from £30 to £100 a month.
Additional Costs:
Travel insurance is strongly advised and runs between £20 and £50 for your stay. With a daily budget between £50 and £150, everyday costs including food, transportation, and activities should be planned for.
