Standard Visitor Visa

You can come to the UK as a Standard Visitor for up to six months.

This visa can be used for:

  • Tourism, for example on a holiday or to see your family and friends
  • Certain business activities, such as attending a meeting
  • A short course of study
  • Taking part in research or an exchange programme as an academic
  • Medical reasons, for example to receive private medical treatment

You may not have to apply for a visa. What you need to do depends on your nationality and what you plan to do in the UK.

Any salary should continue to be paid by the academic's own overseas institution.
