Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Visitor Visa Be Refused Because of Weak Ties?

Can a UK Sponsor Pay for the Visit?
A UK host may support a visit, but the evidence should clearly explain the relationship, funding, accommodation and purpose of travel.
Can I Work on a Visitor Visa?
Visitors cannot work in the UK except for limited permitted activities. The planned activity should be checked before applying.
