Planning a holiday, a course, a new job or a move to join family in the United Kingdom? We help you choose the right visa category, prepare your documents and submit a complete, clear application.
Visa options
- Tourist visa – for holidays and visits to friends or family.
- Student visa – for a course at a UK college or university.
- Work visa – for a job offer from a UK employer.
- Business visa – for meetings, conferences and other short business trips.
- Dependent visa – for joining a family member in the UK, where the rules for their visa allow dependants.
The UK groups many short trips under its visitor routes, so tourism and short business visits can fall under the same category. We confirm the right route for your purpose at consultation.
Who it is for
This page is for travellers, students, professionals and families applying for a UK visa from India. If you are not sure which route fits your plans, start with a consultation and we will talk it through with you.
General documentation
- A valid passport, and your previous passports if you have them
- Proof of the purpose of your trip, such as an invitation, an admission letter or a job offer
- Financial documents, such as recent bank statements and proof of income
- Employment or study details, such as a leave letter, payslips or a college letter
- Travel plans, such as a draft itinerary and accommodation details
Requirements usually vary with the visa type and your personal circumstances. The exact checklist depends on your profile and the current embassy, VFS or official checklist, and Miras confirms it with you at consultation.
Application process
- Consultation: you tell us about your plans and we suggest the visa category that fits them.
