Start with the right route.
The UK has its own entry requirements. Depending on your nationality and circumstances, you may need a visitor visa, an ETA, or neither. Use the official checker before starting a visa application.
Start with your passport country and where you live. Add your travel dates and itinerary, then organise the evidence for your visit. Keep the trip and visa preparation in one plan.
Prepare around your circumstances.
Your circumstances shape your application. Use the official instructions for your route and place of application, then review the information you provide for consistency.
