What a strong UK visit visa file includes
Who it’s for
Tourists, people visiting family or friends, parents attending a graduation, and short business trips. You cannot work or study for more than 30 days on this visa.
How long it takes
Standard decisions usually take about three weeks after biometrics, and longer in summer. Apply up to three months before you travel.
Your file checklist
Tick off as you go. Your counsellor gives you the exact list for your case.
Why visit visas get refused
Weak ties to Pakistan
Officers need to see that you will return: a job, business, studies, property or close family.
Unexplained funds
Large recent deposits without a clear source raise questions. Six months of steady statements are stronger.
Vague purpose
A clear itinerary and an invitation letter for family visits make your purpose easy to understand.
Tips from our counsellors
Keep the trip length reasonable for your leave and budget.
Make sure your sponsor’s documents match the invitation letter.
Declare previous refusals honestly. Hiding them is worse than the refusal.
UK visit visa FAQs
01How long can I stay on a UK visitor visa?
Usually up to six months per visit, but you should only request the time your trip actually needs.
02Can I apply for a long-term visit visa?
Two-, five- and ten-year visit visas exist for frequent travellers with a good travel history. They don’t change the six-month limit per visit.
