Visiting the UK

Visitor visas are available for a variety of purposes, and can be valid for anything from six months to two years.

First time applicants will usually be awarded a 6-month visa. In later applications, if you can show that you need to make repeated visits over a long period, you may be awarded a visa for 1, 2, 5 or 10 years. ECA Legal can advise you on how to achieve this.

Evidence requirements for most visit visas are not precisely defined, and rely on you presenting an overall picture of a genuine, low risk applicant. We work with you to ensure that your application covers all the points required by the Home Office, depending on your individual circumstances.

Depending on your situation and the purpose for your visit, we can advise you on which visa is available to you and relevant to your visit. The following categories are the most common types of visit visas.

Our service includes initial advice, document checking and preparation, application submission and appointment booking.

If you are not sure which category suits your purposes, please contact us and we can advise you on which visa you may qualify for.
