What the Platform Does

Tools built specifically for Visitor Visa cases

  • Purpose-of-visit statement tailored to the specific reason for travel (tourism, business, family, medical)
  • Financial evidence narrative showing the applicant's ability to fund the visit
  • Ties to home country statement — demonstrating the applicant will leave the UK at the end of the visit
  • Business visitor activity review — confirming planned activities are permitted under the Visitor rules
  • Pre-submission audit checking for common refusal risk factors
Key Requirements

What applicants must meet

  • Genuine intention to visit the UK for a permitted purpose and to leave at the end of the visit
  • Sufficient funds to cover the cost of the trip without working in the UK
  • Strong ties to home country — property, employment, family — demonstrating the intention to return
  • No intention to work, study (beyond permitted short courses), or access public funds
What We Check For

Common refusal grounds — caught before submission

Insufficient evidence of ties to home country — the officer is not satisfied the applicant will leave
Insufficient funds to cover the visit without recourse to public funds
Previous overstay, visa refusals, or immigration breaches on the applicant's record
Evidence of intent to work or settle rather than visit temporarily
Inconsistencies between the stated purpose and the evidence provided
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I extend a UK Visitor visa?

In limited circumstances — you can apply to extend if you are already in the UK as a visitor, but extensions are rarely granted and require exceptional circumstances. The total stay should not normally exceed 6 months.

Can I get medical treatment on a Visitor visa?

Yes, for privately funded medical treatment. The Standard Visitor visa permits visits for medical treatment, provided it is paid for privately and is not a pretext for a longer stay.

Can I do business activities on a Visitor visa?

Some business activities are permitted — attending meetings, conferences, negotiating contracts. You cannot take employment or be paid by a UK company. The permitted activities are listed in Appendix Visitor: Permitted Activities.

How long can I stay in the UK on a Visitor visa?

Up to 6 months per visit. The visa itself may be valid for longer (e.g. 2 or 10 years), but each visit is limited to 6 months and you cannot use it to live in the UK by making repeated visits.
