Overview of the UK Standard Visitor Visa
The Standard Visitor Visa is the primary UK immigration route for short-term visits to the United Kingdom.
Under UK Immigration Rules, the Standard Visitor Visa enables eligible individuals to enter the UK temporarily for tourism, visiting relatives or friends, attending business activities, educational visits, or receiving private medical treatment.
Most visitors are granted permission to remain in the UK for up to six months. Applicants must demonstrate that they are genuine visitors who intend to leave the United Kingdom at the end of their authorised stay.
