UK 5 Year Visitor Visa Overview
The UK 5 Year Visitor Visa is a long-term version of the UK Standard Visitor Visa. It is valid for 5 years from issue and allows multiple entries into the United Kingdom, with a stay of up to 6 months per visit, for tourism, business visits, short courses, or visiting family and friends, subject to the conditions granted and current UK entry rules. It is ideal for regular travellers who visit the UK often over several years, as it removes the need to apply for a new visa before each trip and can be more economical than repeated short-term visas. Applications are made online and require an in-person biometrics appointment at a UK visa application centre (VFS Global) in Dubai. UgoVisa offers Standard service: for AED 5,500 with a decision in around 20 working days. The UK government visa fee, visa-centre charges and travel insurance are separate and not included in the service fee. Our Dubai-based team checks your documents, prepares your application, and books your appointment, and supports UAE residents applying from Dubai and across the Emirates as well as other eligible applicants. Note that visa nationals require this visa, while some other nationalities may instead need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).
