Documents
Always required

Evidence that you can pay for your trip and support yourself (and any dependants) during your stay and return journey.
Examples include recent bank statements, payslips, proof of selfâemployment income, or evidence that a third party will support you.
Recommended
Recent passportâstyle colour photograph meeting UK visa photo standards, if requested in the online form or by the visa application centre.
Many centres capture biometrics and a digital photo; printed photos may not always be required but are commonly requested in guidance.
Details of your travel plans to and from the UK, such as provisional flight bookings or intended dates of travel.
You are not required to book or pay for travel before applying, but you should explain your intended travel dates and route in the application.
Evidence of where you will stay in the UK, such as hotel bookings or a letter from a host.
Typical examples include hotel confirmations, booking emails, or a letter from a friend or relative confirming you can stay with them.
Evidence of employment, selfâemployment or study in your home country to show ties and reason for visit.
Typical documents include employer letters confirming leave, recent payslips, business registration documents, or letters from an educational institution.
Invitation letter or supporting documents from a UKâbased host, organisation or business, if visiting for business or to stay with friends or family.
For business visits, this may include a letter from the UK company explaining the purpose of the visit and who will pay costs; for private visits, a letter from your host and evidence of their immigration status in the UK are commonly requested.
Tuberculosis (TB) test certificate from a Home Officeâapproved clinic, if you are applying for a longâterm visa and are resident in a country where TB testing is required.
Short visits under 6 months usually do not require a TB test, but some longerâterm visit or multiâyear visas may trigger TB testing depending on residence country.
Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
In London, the simplest ticket is your contactless bank card/phone: tap in/out on the Tube and tap in on buses, and fare capping limits what you pay in a day or week.
2
Tax-free shopping: Great Britain ended the VAT Retail Export Scheme from 1 January 2021, so visitors generally can't claim VAT back on high-street purchases (Northern Ireland is different).
3
If you're using National Rail services within London fare zones, Oyster/contactless pay-as-you-go is often better value than paper Day Travelcards thanks to capping.
