Visitor Visas (Tourist, Family, Business)
The Visitor visa allows individuals to come to the UK for a short stay, whether to explore as a tourist, visit family and friends, or carry out limited business activities. It is one of the most common visa categories but comes with clear restrictions on what you can and cannot do while in the UK.
Who Can Apply?
- A tourist wishing to explore the UK’s culture, history, and attractions.
- A family visitor planning to see relatives who live in the UK.
- A business visitor attending meetings, conferences, or short professional engagements.
Each purpose of visit has specific rules and permitted activities.
What You’ll Be Able to Do
- Enjoy UK tourism, culture, and heritage.
- Visit friends and family living in the UK.
- Attend business meetings, conferences, and permitted professional activities.
- Take part in short recreational courses (if permitted under the rules).
No, you cannot take up employment or long-term study in the UK under a Visitor visa. Only limited business activities are permitted.
Most Visitor visas allow stays of up to 6 months. In some cases, business or frequent travellers may apply for a longer-validity visa, but each stay is still limited to the permitted period.
Yes, you must show you have sufficient funds to cover your travel, accommodation, and living costs without relying on public funds during your stay.
