Which short-term visa to choose — assistance in analysing the purpose of your trip
The type of visa directly depends on the purpose of your trip. Choosing the wrong type of visa may be grounds for refusal. Our lawyers will clarify your individual circumstances and recommend the best visa option.
The most common types of short-term visas are:
- Standard Visitor visa — for tourism, visiting friends or family;
Business Visitor visa — for business trips, negotiations or conferences;
Visitor visa for private medical treatment — for medical trips;
Marriage Visitor visa — for marriage without the intention to stay.

We help you choose the right option based on your goals, length of stay and expected activities, taking into account the chances of successfully obtaining a visa.
Legal support in case of extension or change of status
If you need to stay in the UK longer or change your immigration status, it is important to know what options are available under the law. Our lawyers advise on:
- the conditions for extending your stay on the basis of your current visa;
the possibility of changing your visa status without leaving the UK;
legitimate actions in the event of unforeseen circumstances;
submitting a new application for a different type of visa through the Home Office.
