Appointment, payment, insurance & forms
Pay the visa application fee online as part of the GOV.UK application. UKVI publishes the payable PKR amount for applications made from Pakistan; it can change when the Home Office exchange rate changes. Optional VAC or priority services, where offered, cost extra.
GOV.UK does not list travel insurance as a standard mandatory supporting document for a Standard Visitor visa. Appropriate travel and medical cover may still be sensible for the trip.
Complete the Standard Visitor visa application online on GOV.UK. There is no general paper Standard Visitor application form to submit instead.
