Professional, independent document-preparation and application support for your UK Standard Visitor Visa, aligned with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requirements.
UK Standard Visitor Visa
The UK Standard Visitor Visa allows you to travel to the United Kingdom for tourism, to visit family and friends, or for short business or leisure trips — typically for up to six months.
The UK now issues visitor visas as a digital eVisa — there is no vignette sticker placed in your passport. Visit visas are also available for different validity periods, from a single 6-month visit to long-term visas valid for 2, 5 or 10 years, each allowing stays of up to six months per visit.
At Visaxpress, we provide document-preparation and administrative support to help you organise your supporting documents and prepare your UK Standard Visitor Visa application in line with official UKVI requirements. We do not provide UK immigration advice.

Step-by-step process
We walk you through the general requirements and the supporting documents typically expected for a Standard Visitor Visa, so you know exactly what to gather.
Collect supporting materials: passport, photos, proof of funds, travel itinerary, and ties to your home country.
The application is completed on the official UK government (UKVI) portal. We help you organise your documents and review them for accuracy and consistency before you submit.
Processing times can vary depending on your circumstances, the volume of applications received, and the completeness of your documentation. Standard Visitor Visa applications from India are often decided within a few weeks. To avoid delays, apply well in advance and ensure your forms and supporting documents are accurate and up to date.

Government fees & visa duration
Government (UKVI) visa fees are set by the UK Home Office and paid directly to the government — separate from our service fees. As a guide (fees are subject to change, please verify on GOV.UK): a Standard Visitor Visa for up to 6 months is approximately £135. Long-term visit visas are also available — approximately £506 (2 years), £903 (5 years) and £1,128 (10 years). Long-term visas allow multiple visits, but each stay is limited to a maximum of 6 months. The Immigration Health Surcharge does not apply to standard visitors.
