Standard Visitor Visa
Home / Our Legal Services / Personal Immigration / Family and Relationship Based Visas / Standard Visitor Visa
The Standard Visitor Visa category is for persons that intend to visit the UK for specific purposes that do not fall within the prohibited categories set out by the Home Office under Appendix V of the Immigration Rules.
Whilst you may be familiar with the common phrase asked at the airport check-in desk: “What is the purpose of your visit, business or pleasure?” However, when it comes to applying for a Standard Visitor Visa, you will need to specify the purpose of your visit when applying in order to satisfy the Home Office that the purpose of your visit is genuine and that you will leave at the end of your visit period. The different categories of Standard Visitor Visa are:
Tourist and Family Visit Visa
Business Visit Visa
Private Medical Treatment Visit Visa
Child Visit Visa
Marriage Visit Visa
Permitted Paid Engagement (PPE) Visit Visa
The exact requirements you will need to satisfy will vary depending on which category of the Standard Visitor Visa you will be applying for. You may want to speak to an immigration lawyer for expert advice.
In order to qualify for a Standard Visitor Visa you will need to satisfy UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) that the purpose of your visit is genuine and that you:
Will leave the UK at the end of your visit;
Will not live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits, or make the UK your main home;
Are genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permitted by the visitor routes and will not undertake any prohibited activities;
Have sufficient funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to your visit without working or accessing public funds, including the cost of your onward travel or return ticket.
The exact requirements you will need to satisfy will vary depending on your circumstances. You may want to speak to an immigration lawyer for expert advice.
