FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sponsor a visitor to the UK?

If you are inviting someone to come to the UK to visit you, you will be named as the sponsor on their application. An invitation letter will need to be produced as well as any supporting documents that can aid the Home Office in their understanding of the applicant’s trip to the UK. As the sponsor you will be responsible for the applicant while they are in the UK.

What am I not allowed to do on a Visitors Visa?

You cannot claim any benefits, get married or give notice to get married, and do any paid or unpaid work.

Will I be able to use any NHS services?

Yes, however you will need to pay your NHS bill. Otherwise if this bill is left outstanding then it may affect future applications to come to the UK.

What happens if I overstay my Visitors visa?

From the time that your visa expires you will have a 30-day voluntary period in which you can return to your home country. After this 30-day period you could be deported and if so, you could be banned from re-entering the UK for 1-10 years. We advise all our clients to know the date that their visa expires with complete certainty, and always have plans to exit the country well before this date. This way there is never any reason to be worried about deportation and as a result sanction.
