Recently, our team was asked a question: “Polish citizen. Husband British citizen. I want to get a guest visa. How long can I stay for the first time?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
14.07.2025 12:45:00 As a Polish citizen, you do not need a visa to visit the UK for short stays. You can enter the UK as a visitor and stay for up to 6 months without needing a visa. This is applicable whether it's your first time visiting or not. However, it's important to note that while you don't need a visa, you must meet the standard visitor eligibility requirements. This includes being able to demonstrate that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit, have sufficient funds for your stay, and will not engage in prohibited activities such as work or long-term study. If you're planning on staying longer than 6 months or wish to engage in activities not permitted under a standard visitor entry (like working), you would need to apply for an appropriate visa. Always check the latest entry requirements before traveling, as rules can change.
19.07.2025 17:39:17 As a Polish citizen, you do not need a visitor visa to enter the UK — you can travel visa-free for short stays. However, your stay is limited to a maximum of 6 months under UK immigration rules. During this time, you must not work, marry, or access public funds. You should be ready to show at the border: Proof of your relationship with your British husband; Reason for your visit (e.g. family time, tourism); Evidence of return plans (return ticket, job/home in Poland); Financial means to support yourself during the stay. If you plan to stay longer or join your husband permanently, you should consider applying for a Family (Spouse) Visa instead.
20.07.2025 20:50:11 As a Polish citizen, if you apply for a UK Standard Visitor Visa, you can typically stay in the UK for up to 6 months per visit. Even though your husband is a British citizen, this visa type does not grant you the right to settle, work, or extend the stay beyond that period. To apply, you must show that: – You will leave the UK at the end of your visit – You can financially support yourself (or your husband can sponsor you) – You have ties to your home country (e.g. job, property, family) If your long-term intention is to live with your husband in the UK, you may want to explore applying for a family or spouse visa instead, which allows settlement rights.
