Visitor Visa
Tourist visa
Temporary stay for a defined purpose, assessed on clarity of purpose and ability to return.
What a visitor visa is
A visitor visa is temporary residence for a defined purpose: tourism, a family visit, or short business. The core of the assessment is that the purpose is clear and genuinely temporary.
What the application is judged on
The assessment centres on three things:
- A clear, time-bound temporary purpose
- Financial means to cover the visit
- Ongoing ties to your country of residence that support your return
Why applications are usually refused
What is looked at most: evidence of ties to your country of residence, a clear purpose of travel, and financial documents that add up.
A coherent file has all three ready before submission.
