UK visa applications are made in person by appointment. During the UK visa application phase, biometric information such as fingerprints are taken of the candidates. After the UK visa officers have made their visa decisions, your application is sent back to your address or UK visa application centre by cargo according to your request. UK visa processing time ranges from a few days to 3 weeks. UK visa applications contain differences within themselves based on the purpose of travel. Standard Visitor Visa is one of the most easy-to-obtain visa types. The UK general visitor visa is a category of short-term visa that people who wish to travel to the UK for the purpose of leisure, cultural sightseeing and tourist holidays must apply for.
How to apply for UK Standard Visitor Visa?
Because the UK state is not a member of the European Union, the UK visa is not a visa with Schengen status. Therefore, due to the fact that the UK general visitor visa does not feature Schengen visa, UK visa holders will have to apply for a Schengen visa for their further travel to other member countries of the Schengen Area.
