If you would like to come to the United Kingdom for a short period of time and do not plan to settle here, you can apply for the following visa categories:
UK Standard Visitor Visa
As a Standard Visitor, individuals can visit the UK for tourism, business activities, a short course of study, medical reasons, or to take part in research or an exchange program as an academic. This visa is valid for a period of 6 months to 10 years, with a maximum stay of 6 months on each visit (academics and patients, undergoing private treatment, may stay in the UK for 11 and 12 months on each visit accordingly.)
UK Transit Visa
With the UK Transit Visa individuals can transit through the UK for up to 48 hours on their way to a different country.
Marriage Visitor
This visa is designed for individuals who wish to visit the UK to marry or register a civil partnership or give notice of a marriage or civil partnership, in the UK. This visa is valid for 6 months.
Permitted Paid Engagements (now part of the Standard Visitor visa)
The separate Permitted Paid Engagement visa closed on 31 January 2024. These activities are now permitted under the Standard Visitor visa, so no separate visa is required. Experts and professionals can be paid to take part in activities such as acting as an examiner, sitting on selection panels, giving lectures at a university, providing advocacy, taking part in arts, entertainment or sporting events, and assessing UK-based pilots. The paid engagement must be arranged before travelling to the UK and completed within 30 days of arrival, and the visitor may stay for up to 6 months.
Child Visitor visa
This visa is for children under the age of 18 who wish to come to the UK for a short stay. They can undertake a short course of study for up to 30 days and access private medical treatment. Holders of this visa can stay in the UK for 6 months. They can also enter and leave the UK multiple times.
Parent of a Child Student Visa
This visa allows parents to visit the UK for 6 up to 12 months to accompany their children on a Child Student visa.
