How to apply for a UK tourist visa quickly and easily

A UK tourist visa is a document required for short-term trips for leisure, sightseeing, cultural events or to meet friends and relatives. It allows you to stay in the country for up to 6 months, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the rich historical heritage and culture of the United Kingdom.

This visa is mandatory for citizens of many countries who want to discover unique parts of the UK, such as London, Edinburgh, Liverpool or the Lake District. When planning a trip, it is important to familiarise yourself with the visa requirements in good time and arrange all the documents in advance.

A tourist visa allows you to stay in the UK for up to 180 days in one trip. The visa is usually issued with multiple entry and can have different validity periods. Short term visas are usually valid for up to 6 months, long term visas can be issued for 2 years, 5 years or 10 years and are for those who plan to visit the UK frequently over a long period of time. However, it is important to remember that even a long term visa allows you to stay for no more than 6 months per visit. Transparent application process: clear requirements and step-by-step instructions make it easy to apply for a visa.

Citizens of visa-free countries (EU, USA, Canada, Australia) do not require a visa for short-term trips of up to 180 days. However, from 2025, these countries will be required to obtain an ETA electronic authorisation.

1. Citizens of visa-free countries. Citizens of the European Union, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a number of other countries can enter the UK without a visa for up to 6 months for tourism purposes. However, from 2025 it will become compulsory for such nationals to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).
2. Under the Common Travel Area (CTA) agreement between the UK and Ireland, Irish citizens do not need a visa for any purpose of entry, including tourism.
3. If you already have a valid UK visa that covers your tourist purposes, there is no need to apply for a separate tourist visa.
4. If you have permission to live, work or study in the UK, a separate tourist visa will not be required.
5. If you are flying in transit through the UK and do not leave the airport transit area, a tourist visa is not required. A transit visa may be required to leave the transit zone.
