UK Visitor Visa
The UK Visitor Visa permits individuals from outside the European Economic Area and other countries to visit the UK for a duration of up to six months.
When planning a visit to the United Kingdom, individuals must obtain permission to do so, either in the form of a UK Visitor Visa or Leave to Enter the UK. While a visitor visa must be applied for before traveling to the UK, Leave to Enter can be obtained at the UK port of entry. Whether a person requires a UK Visitor Visa is determined by their status as a visa national or not.
Falcon Immigration advises non-visa nationals, particularly those previously denied a UK Visitor Visa or entry at a UK port of entry, to apply for a UK Visitor Visa before traveling to the UK.
