Visitor visas

If you are thinking of visiting the UK for business, for leisure, to see family or for private medical treatment, you will need to apply for a Visitor visa. It allows you to remain in the UK for up to 6 months and depending on the reason for your visit, you may be able to extend your stay for longer.

There can sometimes be a lot of confusion over who can and cannot apply for a Visitor visa. Here at Expert Law, our team will assess your needs and support you through the entire process.

    Who is eligible for a Visitor visa?

    • Can support yourself and any dependents while in the UK 
    • Are able to pay for your journey back out of the UK
