Recently, our team was asked a question: “Hello! My name is Kateryna, and I’m currently living in Ukraine. I’m planning to visit my close friends in the UK this winter and would like to apply for a Standard Visitor Visa. However, I’ve never applied for a UK visa before and I want to make sure I do everything correctly. Can you help me with the full legal support — from assessing my eligibility, gathering the right documents, writing the cover letter, to submitting the application?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

13.08.2025 11:51:54 Hello Kateryna! I’m glad you’re planning to visit the UK, and I'd be happy to guide you through the process of applying for a Standard Visitor Visa. While I can provide general advice and information, please note that I can't offer legal support or submit applications on your behalf. However, I can certainly help you understand the steps involved: 1. **Eligibility Assessment**: - Ensure that your visit is for tourism, visiting friends/family, or similar purposes. - You must have sufficient funds to cover your trip without working or accessing public funds in the UK. - Demonstrate strong ties to Ukraine (e.g., employment, family) indicating you'll return after your visit. 2. **Gathering Documents**: - A valid passport with a blank page for your visa. - Evidence of financial means (bank statements, pay slips). - Details of your travel itinerary. - Accommodation details (hotel bookings or an invitation letter from friends if staying with them). - Proof of ties to Ukraine (employment letter, property ownership). 3. **Writing a Cover Letter**: - Introduce yourself and explain the purpose of your visit. - Outline your travel plans and how you intend to support yourself financially during the trip. - Mention any previous travel history if relevant. 4. **Submitting Your Application**: - Complete the online application form on the official UK government website. - Pay the visa fee as part of the application process. - Book and attend an appointment at a Visa Application Centre in Ukraine for biometric data collection (fingerprints and photograph). 5. **Additional Tips**: - Double-check all documents before submission for accuracy and completeness. - Allow ample time for processing; apply well in advance of your intended travel dates. If you require personalized legal assistance, consider reaching out to an immigration lawyer or consultant who specializes in UK visas. They can provide tailored advice based on your specific circumstances. Good luck with your application! If you have any more questions or need further clarification on any step, feel free to ask.
