Services / Visitor Routes
Family Visit Visa
For applicants visiting a close family member in the UK under visitor rules.
Detailed guidance
Route Scope
Family visit is a visitor category and does not provide work permission or a direct settlement route.
The relationship to the UK family member must be evidenced clearly.
Evidence Package
Applications should combine visit-purpose evidence with practical support evidence for accommodation and finances.
Inconsistent sponsor letters, relationship records or travel plans can undermine credibility.
Refusal-Risk Notes
Appeal options are limited in many visitor refusals, so quality of first submission is important.
