About UK Visa Info

Independent, plainly-written UK immigration guidance.

What this site is

UK Visa Info is an editorial site covering the UK visa system — work routes, study, family, visit, and settlement. We translate dense official rules into plain English so applicants can understand what they need before they spend time and money on an application.

What this site is not

We are not the UK Home Office. We are not gov.uk. We are not immigration solicitors and we do not provide legal advice for individual cases. For tailored advice, speak with a UK immigration solicitor regulated by the SRA or an OISC-registered adviser.

Editorial approach

  • Source-first. Every article references the current Immigration Rules, Home Office guidance, or relevant statutory instrument.
  • Updated by date. Every article shows its last update date. We revise content when fees, thresholds or rules change.
  • Plain English. We don't paste official text verbatim. We explain it.
  • No fluff. If a section doesn't help an applicant decide something, it doesn't belong on the page.

How the site is funded

The site is reader-supported through advertising and affiliate links to relevant services (English tests, money transfer, visa services). Advertising does not influence which routes we cover or how we describe them. See our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for full disclosure.
