UK visa system

The UK visa system regulates who can enter, stay, or work in the UK. Applicants must apply for the appropriate visa type based on their purpose, such as work, study, or family reasons. The process involves submitting an application, supporting documents, and paying fees, with decisions made based on eligibility criteria and security checks. Some visas are temporary, while others may lead to settlement or citizenship. The system aims to balance national interests, economic needs, and humanitarian commitments, ensuring controlled and lawful immigration.
