UK Visit Visa General Visitor UK Visit Visa Visitors who are coming for tourist purposes or to see family in the Uk will often need to apply for a UK visit visa, or “entry clearance”, before travelling to the UK. The visitor visa is the most popular route for individuals to come to the UK for tourism, business, medical treatment or to visit a family. We have observed however, that the success rate of visit visas is very low when the applicants choose to make the application on their own without the help from the immigration lawyer.
