Your documents should tell the same story

Preparing evidence for a UK visitor application.

Start with your circumstances

Organise evidence around the purpose of your visit, your circumstances at home and how the trip will be funded. A larger pile of documents is not automatically a stronger explanation.

Make the finances understandable

Financial evidence should show access to funds and where they came from. If someone is supporting your trip, explain the relationship and the support they will provide. Check that the figures you enter agree with the documents.

Review the details together

Check names, dates, income and travel plans across your application. The official supporting-document guide explains translations and other evidence. Use it alongside your own application instructions; the documents you need depend on your circumstances.
