In many cases though, you may not be able to enter into the UK unless you have a visa that specifically allows you to do so.
If the immigration laws of the UK say that your visit is one that requires a visa, then you need to have that visa in place before you actually arrive in the UK.
You need to start work on this therefore in your own country, and well in advance of your trip to the UK. If your visit is one that needs a visa - and we will be able to tell you whether you need a visa once you have told us a bit about you and about the trip to the UK - you need to apply for that visa at the nearest British Embassy or British Consulate to you.
Depending on the reason for your visit, you will need to complete the appropriate application form, pay a fee, and submit with your application relevant supporting documentation.
In our experience, careful preparation of your visa application and of the supporting documentation can make the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful visa application.
Our leading immigration team can not only advise you on whether a visa is needed for your trip to the UK, it can also assist you with the preparation of your visa application so that it is as strong and as accurate as possible. All you need to do if you wish to speak to us - free of charge and without obligation - is click on "Please Contact Me Now" or call us on 00845 567 5000.
One of the areas we look at when we discuss your visit with you, is whether there is someone in the UK who can support or sponsor your visit - that may make your chances of getting a visa even better. We discuss the whole question of sponsors with you and if there is someone in the UK who could be your sponsor, then we like to meet with them before we finalise your visa application, again so that we can make that visa application as strong as possible.
