Family Visitor Visa

The UK Family Visa for visitors is a multiple entry visa that entitles you to stay up to SIX MONTHS on each visit. This visa allows individuals to visit friends and family who live in the UK.

You are allowed to enter the United Kingdom multiple times during the validity period, or until your passport expires.

For a UK family visa, you must show that:

• you’ll leave the UK at the end of your visit
• you’re able to support yourself and any dependents for the duration of your trip
• you or your family in the UK can pay for your return or onward journey and any other costs relating to your visit.
• you’ll only ever need to come to the UK to visit, for example, to go on holiday, see family or attend a meeting.

 UK family visa entitles holders

•  to stay up to SIX MONTHS on each visit. 
• take part in  the business-related activities.
• study for up to 30 days, as long as it’s not the main reason for your visit.
• pass through the UK in transit (on your way to another country)

If you need to visit the UK regularly over a longer period, you can apply for a long-term Standard Visitor visa that lasts 2, 5 or 10 years. You can stay for a maximum of 6 months on each visit.
