United Kingdom visa FAQs
Specific to this destination.
How strict is the UK visa?
The UK is more rigorous than Schengen — they look closely at financials and intent. Our team pre-screens your documents to maximize approval.
Can I get a 5- or 10-year visa first time?
Yes, on merit. Travellers with strong travel history, salaries, and assets often qualify for long-term visitor visas straight away.
