Standard Visitor VisaUK Visitor Visa from India
The UK Standard Visitor Visa covers tourism, family visits and business. UKVI assesses whether you're a 'genuine visitor' who will leave at the end of your stay — and they read your bank statements closely. We make your finances and purpose consistent and credible. The final decision rests with UKVI.

What a strong UK file needs
The documents and the story behind them — built to answer the officer's real questions.
Financial evidence matching your circumstances
Show funds you can access, their origin and how you will pay for the visit. UKVI does not specify one universal minimum balance or bank-statement period for every visitor. Follow your application instructions and explain significant deposits.
Income that matches your profile
Salary slips, ITR/Form-16 or business proof that lines up with the money in your account. Mismatches between income and savings cause refusals.
Sponsor documents (if visiting family)
If a UK relative supports your trip, their letter, immigration status, accommodation proof and their own finances strengthen the file.
Purpose & travel plan
Explain your dates, activities, accommodation plans and funding. UKVI lists flight and hotel bookings as less useful visitor evidence; do not treat paid bookings as mandatory visa documents.
Ties to India
Job/leave, business, property and family that show strong reasons to return.
Why UK visas get refused — and how we fix it
Most refusals come down to a handful of avoidable gaps. Here's what to get right.
Unclear source of funds
Explain significant deposits and make the financial evidence consistent with the income, savings and support declared in your application.
Not a 'genuine visitor'
UKVI doubts you'll leave. Fix: strong ties, realistic itinerary, and finances that support a temporary visit.
Weak or inconsistent sponsor evidence
Sponsor's status/finances unclear. Fix: complete sponsor pack matching your application.
Income–savings mismatch
Stated income can't explain your balance. Fix: ITR + salary/business proof aligned with statements.

UK visitor visa FAQs
How many months of bank statements does the UK need?
Current UKVI visitor guidance does not set one universal statement period for every applicant. Financial evidence should show accessible funds, their origin and consistency with your declared circumstances. Follow any specific request in your application and explain significant deposits. We can help review the evidence for your case.
What is the 'genuine visitor' test?
UKVI must be satisfied you genuinely intend to visit and leave at the end of your stay, can fund the trip, and won't work illegally. Strong ties to India and credible finances are how you pass it.
Do I need a sponsor?
Not necessarily. If you fund the trip yourself with sufficient consistent funds, no sponsor is needed. If a UK relative supports you, a complete sponsor pack helps.
Can you guarantee the visa?
No. The decision rests with UKVI. We make the financial story and purpose consistent and credible to maximise your chances.
