🇬🇧 UK Standard Visitor Visa
UK visitor visa, without the guesswork.
The Home Office doesn't publish a minimum bank balance. But caseworkers apply consistent patterns when reviewing Indian applications. We know what they're looking for. Flat ₹2,499.
What's specific to the UK
What UK caseworkers actually look at.
Your bank statement, in detail
UK caseworkers don't just check your balance — they read the pattern. Is the salary credit regular? Does the employer name on the statement match the name on your appointment letter? Are there round-number deposits that don't fit the payroll cycle? Any of these can raise a flag. We go through every credit line before you submit.
No published minimum balance
Unlike Schengen, the UK doesn't state a required amount. Caseworkers apply judgment based on your trip length, income level, and overall financial picture. After reviewing many UK applications, we've mapped what that judgment typically looks like for Indian applicants — and we profile your statements against it before submission.
Getting the full 6-month validity
The UK grants visitor visas for up to 6 months, even if your trip is only 10 days. Whether you receive the full allowance depends on how your intent letter and itinerary are written. We write them to support the maximum validity — which matters if you're planning to return within the year.
The workflow
How it works.
- 01
You tell us your situation
Travel dates, employment type, countries you're visiting. The more specific you are, the more useful the checklist we build. This isn't a generic PDF — it's built around your profile.
- 02
We build your document checklist
Self-employed applicants need different documents than salaried ones. First-time applicants need more context on what embassy officers look for. Your checklist reflects your actual situation.
- 03
We review everything you submit
Send your documents through WhatsApp. We go through them line by line — irregular deposits, employer name mismatches, date inconsistencies. Problems get caught before submission, not after.
- 04
You get a ready-to-submit folder
Reviewed forms, a cover letter written for your specific trip, and a day-by-day itinerary. Walk into VFS knowing there's nothing to second-guess.
Founder's Note
Why I built this.
I've applied for Schengen and UK visas myself. I visited the UK, and 10+ Schengen countries — I went through the process as an applicant, not just as someone processing paperwork.
What I kept noticing: most visa agents scan your documents and send them off. Nobody reads them the way an embassy officer would. Nobody catches the lump sum that landed two weeks before the application, or the employer letter where the salary doesn't match the bank credits.
AnchorVisa was built to catch those things. Flat fee, no upsells, entirely online, and specific to UK and Schengen — the two visas we actually know.
