How do I qualify to travel to the UK as a visitor?

In general, you must show that:

you want to visit the UK for no more than six months;
you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit, and
you have enough money to support yourself and live in the UK without working or needing help from public funds.


What is a visa?
A visa is a vignette that is applied for in advance of travel and which gives you permission   to enter the UK.

If you have a valid UK visa we will not normally refuse you entry to the UK unless your circumstances have changed, or you gave false information or did not tell us important facts when you applied for your visa.

When you arrive in the UK, an Immigration Officer may ask you questions, so take  any  documents that are relevant to your visit in your hand luggage.
