Visit the UK
What is a Visitor?
Overseas nationals who wish to come to the UK for a temporary purpose, including leisure, business, private medical treatment, marriage, transit, and permitted paid engagements, may seek permission under the Visitor rules.
While in the UK, the activities that a visitor may undertake are limited and determined by the type of visa they obtain. Therefore, it is imperative that overseas visitors understand and adhere to the scope of permitted and prohibited activities based on their particular status.
