Still to establish
- No passport list is encoded for comparison. Check your passport with the authority; omission does not mean exclusion or exemption.
- No stay limit is encoded for comparison. Confirm the permitted stay, how days are counted and any cumulative limits.
Travel purposes recorded in this source
The listed purposes do not establish permission to work or undertake other activities.
- Tourism
- Business
Prepare and verify
- Identify the office competent for your residence and confirm the checklist, appointment arrangements and applicable fees on its official website.
- Follow that office's instructions for submission and collection. Check the issued visa's details and conditions before departure.
Your next checks
- Write down the passport you will use and its type, your country of residence and your planned activities. Residence and interface language do not replace passport nationality.
- List arrival and departure dates, transit stops and entry points. Check each leg separately, including whether you pass immigration during transit.
- Open the official instructions for that profile. Record the required documents, submission window, fees and processing guidance; mark anything the source does not confirm as unresolved.
- If a condition is unclear, contact the competent authority with your passport country, residence, purpose and dates. Recheck before departure and after a passport or itinerary change.
What else should I know?
An appointment or accepted application is not approval. Do not assume that requirements from another consulate apply to your case.

Royaume-Uni — visa visiteur de longue durée, 10 ans
Visa Standard Visitor d’une validité de 10 ans pour des visites régulières, avec un séjour limité à six mois par visite.
Voyageur soumis à visa, satisfaisant aux conditions Standard Visitor et pouvant justifier ses visites régulières. Chaque demandeur doit remplir les conditions individuelles, notamment le départ à la fin du séjour et les ressources nécessaires.
- Vérifier le besoin de visa, les activités admises et la justification des visites régulières.
- Choisir la durée, compléter la demande et préparer les justificatifs requis.
- Suivre les instructions d’identification et de rendez-vous, puis contrôler la durée effectivement accordée.
- La validité de plusieurs années n’autorise ni un séjour continu de cette durée ni une résidence au Royaume-Uni par des visites successives.
- UKVI peut accorder un visa plus court que demandé sans rembourser la différence ; les conditions particulières des mineurs restent à vérifier.
- Six mois n’est pas converti en un nombre fixe de jours. Le tarif d’une demande de six mois ne s’applique pas à cette variante.
