Travellers residing in the UAE who wish to visit the United Kingdom must obtain a UK visa according to their travel purpose—tourism, business, visiting family, study, or work. The UK visa ensures legal entry and provides clarity on your permitted stay. The process is fully online but requires accurate documentation, biometric registration, and strong application support to avoid delays or refusals.

Why choose us?
Applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months and a UAE residence visa with Emirates ID. Required documents include a completed UK visa application form (online), recent photographs, confirmed travel itinerary, hotel booking or invitation letter, bank statements for the last six months, and proof of employment or business ownership in the UAE. Invitation letters are needed for family or business visits, and additional financial or personal documents may be requested depending on the chosen visa type.
📝 A Smooth and Professional Application Journey
UAE residents apply online through the UK Home Office portal, where the application form is filled out and the visa fee is paid. Once submitted, applicants select a VFS Global centre in Abu Dhabi or Dubai for biometrics. Supporting documents are either uploaded online or submitted at the centre during the appointment. After verification and biometrics, the application is forwarded for decision-making, and the passport is returned with the visa once processed.
⏳ Processing Time & Visa Validity
UK visa processing from the UAE generally takes 15 to 30 working days, depending on the category and workload. Priority and Super Priority services are available for faster decisions. Standard visitor visas allow stays of up to 6 months, while long-term visitor visas may be issued for 2, 5, or 10 years with multiple entries, depending on approval.
