United Kingdom visa FAQs

Can I get a long-term UK visit visa?

Yes — 2, 5 and 10-year visit visas exist for people who travel to the UK regularly. Each visit is still limited to 6 months. We advise whether a long-term visa suits your travel history.

Is there a faster option?

Priority and super-priority services are offered at extra cost at many centres, subject to availability. We tell you the current options and charges when you apply.

What if my United Kingdom visa is refused?

We reapply for you free of cost — you don't pay our ₹40,000 service fee again. We review the refusal reasons, strengthen your file and refile it. Only the embassy fee for the new application is payable.

Is the embassy fee included in ₹40,000?

No. ₹40,000 is our service fee, paid in full before we start your application. The embassy / government visa fee is paid separately at actual cost, and we tell you the exact amount upfront.

Visa rules and fees change often. This guide was last reviewed in October 2026 — we confirm the latest requirements with you before you apply. Official source: GOV.UK — Standard Visitor visa.
