  • Refunds: 

    Please note that visa fees are non-refundable. If your application is not successful your fee will not be refunded.  

    Visit visas are available with validity of 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years. In the vast majority of cases an applicant visiting the UK for the first time will get a six-month multiple entry visas. Decisions on what validity of visa to grant are made by the visa officer and no refunds will be made if the visa officer decides to give a 6 month rather than longer-term visa. 

    For most applicants 5 and 10 year visas will only be issued where the applicant can show that they have a significant and recent travel history to the UK. This means that they have previously held UK visas in the past 2 years and during that time have traveled to the UK and complied with the terms of their visa several times.
