UK Standard Visitor Visa (2026 Updates)
Your Gateway to Great Britain
The UK has revolutionized its immigration system for 2026. While Pakistani citizens still require a visa (and are not yet eligible for the £16 ETA), the process is now paperless and more efficient. At Domino Consultants, we specialize in the new e-Visa portal, ensuring your digital profile is flawless for a successful approval.
The New 2026 "e-Visa" Process
The biggest change in 2026 is that you keep your passport.
Digital Application: We submit your form via the UKVI portal.
Biometrics: You visit VFS Global (Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad) for fingerprints and a photo.
Passport Retention: You take your passport home with you immediately after biometrics.
Digital Approval: Once approved, you receive an e-Visa linked to your passport number. No more waiting for couriers or passport collection!
Mandatory Documents for Pakistani Applicants
To meet the “Genuine Visitor” requirement, you must provide:
Financial Proof: 6 months of bank statements showing a consistent income and enough “disposable” savings for the trip.
Socio-Economic Ties: * Salaried: Employment letter, 3 months’ payslips, and an NOC.
Business Owners: NTN, FBR tax returns (last 3 years), and Chamber of Commerce membership.
Family Ties: FRC (Family Registration Certificate) issued by NADRA to prove your roots in Pakistan.
Accommodation: A hotel booking or an Invitation Letter from a UK host (including their British passport copy or residency status).
