For All Countries

A UK visa only grants entry to the countries of the United Kingdom. This includes England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It does not grant entry to the Schengen Area or other countries.

📌 Can I Enter the UK with a Schengen Visa?

No. You cannot travel to the United Kingdom on a Schengen visa. You must obtain a UK visa to enter.

📌 Can I Travel to Ireland with a UK Visa?

If you are travelling directly from Turkey to Ireland, you will need an Irish visa; a UK visa or Schengen visa will not be valid for direct entry. However, if you are entering Ireland via the UK, a valid UK visa allows you to first enter the UK and then travel on to Ireland. Once you have entered Ireland, you may re-enter it from Turkey without passing through the UK again.

📌 Can I Enter the UK with an Irish Visa?

No. An Irish visa only allows entry into the Republic of Ireland and is not valid for entry into the UK.

📌 How Long Does it Take to Get a UK Visa?

For standard applications, it usually takes around 15 to 20 days from your appointment date for a decision to be made. For urgent travel, there are priority services such as the 24-Hour UK Visa or the 5-Day UK Visa.

📌 My Previous Application was Refused – Can I Apply Again?

Yes, you can reapply at any time; there is no mandatory waiting period. However, the reasons for your refusal should be reviewed and addressed. If nothing in your circumstances has changed, the likelihood of another refusal is high. If you were refused under Immigration Rules section 320(7b) with a 10-year ban, applications will not be accepted until the ban expires.

📌 How Long Can I Stay in England with My Visa?

You can remain in the UK for the duration of your visa’s validity period. You must leave the UK before your visa expires.

📌 I Am Not Working and Have No Income – Can I Still Get a Visa?

Applicants with no personal income can still obtain a visa if a parent or spouse acts as their financial sponsor, providing proof of funds and income.

No separate photo is required. Your photo will be taken at the biometric appointment by the authorised visa application centre.
