    Premium Visas


    Long term visas�..long term advantages

    Following the introduction of biometric data collection as part of the visa application process in India, UKvisas has reintroduced its long term multiple entry Premium Visas which are valid for 2, 5 and 10 years.

    We want our most valued customers to keep coming to the UK as the destination of choice and are keen to make it as quick and easy as possible for them to do so. Premium Visas are perfect for regular business visitors or holidaymakers.

    Why apply for a Premium Visa?
    - Value for money
    - they are cheaper than several short-term visas.
    - Flexibility
    - they offer multiple visits to the UK within the long validity of the visa.
    - Convenience
    - one visa application and one visit to a Visa Application Centre to provide your biometric data for the entire validity of the visa.

    Do I qualify?
    If you are a frequent traveller to the UK or are the spouse/dependant child of someone who is, then you should consider applying for one of UKvisas' Premium Visas.

    Please note the following before applying for a Premium Visa:

    • Applying for a Premium Visa does not guarantee that you will be issued with the visa you have requested. But if you meet the qualifying criteria above, our staff will normally issue you with the visa for which you have asked.
    • UKvisas reserves the right to issue visas of shorter validity when it considers this to be appropriate.
    • UKvisas has a no refund policy.


    If you are applying for a UKBorder Agency for the first time, you will not normally qualify for a Premium Visa and you would be expected to apply for a standard 6 month visa.


    Trusted Partners

    There is a dedicated coordinator at each VFS Visa Application Centre to handle applications from our Trusted Partners. They will need to take a prior appointment to submit applications at the Visa Application Centre. This will mean that the waiting time at the Application Centre is significantly reduced.

    If you are a registered member of the Trusted Partner Scheme, please ask your representative to send an email to the VFS coordinator in your city before 1.00pm the previous day to schedule an appointment for the next day. An email confirming the appointment will be sent to the Trusted Partner representative by 4.00pm the same day.

    The applicants are requested to come to the Visa Application Centre at the appointed time with a print out of the confirmation mail sent by VFS.
