What it costs
Paid directly to United Kingdom / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per gov.uk, last verified 19 Apr 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
DATV (£35) is cheaper but you CANNOT leave the airport — useful only if your connection is short and airside. Visitor in Transit (£74.50) lets you pass immigration for up to 48 hours — useful if you need a hotel or airport change (e.g., Heathrow to Gatwick).
Flights · Hotels · Insurance · Itinerary
The UK is not Schengen: travel insurance is not required at all, and no booking has to be prepaid.
0 of 4 are compulsory for United Kingdom
Where people slip: Travel dates in the cover letter that differ from the dates on the application form. Keep them identical.
Book for ₹708 (+₹472 per family member)Where people slip: Staying with family and submitting nothing about the host. The officer needs their name, address, status and relationship to you.
Confirmed hotel booking, ₹590 per hotel: message us firstWhere people slip: Being sold "mandatory UK visa insurance" by an agent. There is no such thing. Buy travel insurance for your own protection if you want it, not for the application.
Where people slip: A vague "tourism" purpose with no dates. UK refusals cite the visitor rules paragraph by paragraph, and vagueness is what they cite.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your United Kingdom file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.
Flight reservation ₹708 (+₹472 per extra family member) · Confirmed hotel booking ₹590 per hotel · Travel itinerary ₹1,499. GST included.
Delivery. Usually within 30 minutes during office hours, Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00 IST. Confirmed hotel bookings are not bought online: message us first on WhatsApp or email info@sureshotvisa.com with the city, dates and travellers.

Frequently asked
If you stay airside the whole time and your connection is <24h: DATV (£35). If you need to clear immigration, change airports, or stay overnight: Visitor in Transit (£74.50).
Visitor in Transit allows max 48h — technically you could do a brief London visit. But if sightseeing is the purpose, apply for Standard Visitor (£135) instead.
Indian citizens with valid US B1/B2 visa may be eligible for Transit Without Visa (TWOV) — no UK transit visa needed. Check gov.uk/transit-visa for current TWOV rules.

Your fee, in one glance
Government, VFS, insurance, ticket and hotel costs are separate and charged at cost. Read what each item means, in full.
Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same United Kingdom rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
