Visiting the UK
My family is paying for my UK trip. What do I still need to prove?
Family support can help cover your UK visit. Your application still needs to explain your circumstances and why the trip is temporary.

Short-stay support
Practical support for a short UK visit
Some journeys need practical help beyond the visa question. Understand what support may be useful, what sits outside an immigration application and which next step fits your plans.
Think about the visit around the visa
A visit may involve accommodation, transport and other practical arrangements alongside immigration permission. Those arrangements should support the trip you want to make, without being mistaken for an assurance that permission will be granted.
Understand what a service includes
Travel arrangements and visa assistance can have separate providers, responsibilities and charges. Discuss what help you need and confirm the proposed scope. A booked flight or accommodation does not resolve every visitor requirement.
