First, we check your nationality and UK visa eligibility to confirm if you qualify. Next, we review the UK Visit Visa documents required or the UK Spouse Visa documents for your application. Finally, you'll receive a personalised UK visa document checklist you can download instantly, so you know exactly what to prepare.

We currently support the UK Visit Visa and UK Spouse Visa, with more categories coming soon. You can also upgrade anytime with a professional document review or a full application review for extra peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about UK visa eligibility and document requirements.

For a UK Visit Visa (tourist, family, business), you’ll usually need:
  • Passport (valid for the duration of your stay, with blank pages).
  • Proof of funds to cover travel, accommodation and daily costs (e.g., recent bank statements).
  • Travel plans (e.g., flight bookings, accommodation details, outline itinerary).
  • Evidence of ties to your home country (employment letter, studies, family, property, return tickets).
  • Purpose evidence (e.g., invitation letter if visiting family/friends or attending an event).
Exact documents vary by situation (employment, business travel, sponsorship). Our tool reviews the UK Visit Visa documents required for your case and generates a tailored checklist instantly, so you don’t miss anything.

Typical UK Spouse Visa documents include:
  • Identity: passports for you and your partner, marriage/civil partnership certificate.
  • Relationship evidence: cohabitation proof, joint bills, photos, travel history, communication logs (as relevant).
  • Financial requirement evidence: income or savings documents (e.g., payslips, bank statements, employer letter), or self-employment accounts.
  • Accommodation: tenancy/ownership documents, property inspection (if applicable).
  • English language proof (where required).
The exact mix depends on how you meet the rules (employment, self-employment, savings). Our tool checks your answers and produces a personalised Spouse Visa document checklist specific to your circumstances.

Use our free UK visa eligibility check tool. It takes a couple of minutes:
  1. Enter your nationality and reason for travel (Visit or Spouse).
  2. Answer a few questions about your trip/relationship, finances and documents.
  3. See your provisional eligibility and get an instant, personalised document checklist.
If you’re unsure which route applies, start with Find My Visa — we’ll match you first, then run the same eligibility and document screening.

No tool can guarantee approval — UKVI caseworkers make the final decision. However, many refusals happen not because applicants were ineligible, but because their UK visa documents were incomplete, inconsistent, or poorly presented.

Our free document checklist helps you gather the right paperwork, but checklists alone can’t catch common problems such as:
  • Bank statements that raise questions about unexplained transactions.
  • Employment or financial evidence that doesn’t meet UKVI’s strict format requirements.
  • Relationship documents that fail to show genuine ties clearly enough.
A professional document review or full application review by an immigration solicitor helps prevent refusals by:
  • Identifying weak spots in your supporting evidence.
  • Ensuring every document meets UK visa requirements.
  • Advising on how to strengthen your application before submission.
By combining your personalised checklist with expert review, you significantly increase your chances of a successful visa outcome.

Your checklist shows exactly what to prepare and why. Next steps:
  • Gather documents and ensure they’re consistent (names, dates, balances, translations if needed).
  • Fix known risk points (e.g., unclear bank activity, weak ties, missing relationship proof).
  • Optionally add a document review or application review for expert feedback before applying.
This process helps you submit a complete, coherent application the first time.

Right now, the tool supports the UK Visit Visa and UK Spouse Visa. More visa types are being added. If you’re unsure which route fits your situation, use Find My Visa first — once matched, you’ll follow the same quick eligibility check, document screening, and instant checklist process.

If the tool finds you don’t currently meet the requirements, it will highlight the specific areas that are missing — for example, financial evidence, relationship proof, or accommodation documents. This gives you a clear action plan for what to improve before reapplying.

By identifying problems early, you avoid wasting time and money on a weak application. You can also choose a professional document review to confirm what steps are needed to make your case stronger next time.
