What our visa desk gets asked most about UK applications.

How much does a UK visa cost?

SGD 400 all inclusive per applicant, covering document review and biometric appointment scheduling for the Standard Visitor Visa.

How long does it take?

Processing is 15 working days. Apply at least 3 months before travel — biometric appointment availability can extend the overall timeline.

Do I need to attend an appointment myself?

Yes. Physical appearance is mandatory for biometrics. This is the one part of the process we cannot do on your behalf — we prepare your documents and schedule the appointment, but you attend in person.

Who can use this service?

Singapore Permanent Residents and Singapore pass holders, including Employment Pass, S Pass and Work Permit holders, applying for the Standard Visitor Visa for Tourist or Business purposes.

How long is the visa valid, and how long can I stay?

The visa can be valid for up to 180 days, with single or multiple entry, both at the embassy's discretion. Length of stay per visit is also up to 180 days, decided by the immigration officer on arrival.

Why do UK visas get rejected?

Most commonly: a blurred or low-quality photo, incomplete or inaccurate documentation, insufficient financial proof, and insufficient evidence of ties to your home country — on top of the UK's generally stringent immigration policies. We review your documents before submission to reduce these risks.
