On 11 January of this year, the Home Office launched a new two-year UK visit visa for Chinese nationals. The new visa fee is £85, which is the same fee charged for a six-month entry visitor visa.
However, the new visa will allow Chinese visitors to:
– Make multiple trips to the UK for a longer period of time (more than 90 days); and to
– enter the UK for a variety of purposes including tourism, business, and to investigate the options for setting up a business or managing an investment in the UK.
Furthermore, the UKVI plans to provide a more flexible service for Chinese applicants by opening new biometric collection centres in at least 50 cities within China.
The Home Office believes this new visa will be beneficial to Chinese applicants and to the UK’s economic growth.
If you are a Chinese national and would be interested in applying for the new visa or would like to discuss your options, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0141 283 0190. Alternatively, you can contact us via Info@elm-rose.com
