The UK is one of the world’s biggest tourist destinations and millions of people come for a visit on a yearly basis. If you are looking to make a short term stay in the UK, then the Standard UK Visitor Visa is visa you will need to apply for.
You can apply for this visa if you are visiting the UK for the following reasons:
- Family visits
