Expert Tips from Travisy

  • UK visa applications are decided purely on documents โ€” there is NO interview.
  • Show a clear itinerary and strong financial standing. Inconsistencies in bank statements are a common rejection reason.
  • If you have prior UK / Schengen / USA visa stamps, include those passports โ€” travel history strengthens the application.
  • Apply for a 2-year or 10-year visa for better value (ยฃ400 / ยฃ1,000) if you plan multiple visits.
