Find the right UK route

At a glance

• Start with the official checker for every traveller.
• Separate visiting, study, work, family and transit purposes.
• Follow the current application page for the result shown.

Who this may suit

Nationality, purpose, length of stay and family circumstances determine whether a visa, ETA or another route is needed.

What this route does not allow

• An ETA, visa and eVisa are different things.
• ThaiYinda cannot say that someone qualifies.

Before you apply

• Use the traveller’s actual nationality and circumstances.
• Re-check before applying or travelling.

Documents commonly requested

Identity, purpose, funding, accommodation, relationship, sponsor or onward-travel evidence may be requested depending on the route. Use the live official checklist rather than treating this as a mandatory list.

After arrival or next steps

Keep the decision, passport or digital-status records, check the permission actually granted and follow every reporting, extension or account instruction that applies.
