UK Visitor Visa: Documents, Process & Timing
How to apply for the UK Standard Visitor Visa.
1Processing time & cost
Standard processing is about 15 working days. Priority cuts to 5 days (about ¥2,123) and super-priority to 24 hours (about ¥8,000). Since 2026 the UK is fully electronic (eVisa).
2Required documents
Passport, GOV.UK application form, photo, 6 months of bank statements (3–5万 balance recommended), employment certificate, business licence copy, flights, hotels and itinerary. Translate everything into English.
3Common refusal reasons
Insufficient funds, weak home-country ties, implausible itinerary, poor translations, and inconsistencies. Blank-passport applicants should provide stronger financial and asset proof.
