FAQ's
Questions, answered
Everything you might want to know before you get in touch. Can't find it here? Ask us directly.
How long does a UK visa take from India?
About three weeks after biometrics with standard service. Allow longer in June and July, when searches and applications peak.
Is the UK part of the Schengen visa?
No. The UK needs its own visa, so a Europe trip including London needs both.
Can my family in the UK sponsor my visit?
Yes. Their invitation letter and status documents support your application, though you still need to show your own ties to India.
