is it difficult to attain a UK visa?

In your situation...impossible!

You should have the following documents when coming to the United Kingdom as a visitor:

- a letter from your employer granting leave of absence from your job for a specified period. The letter should also say how long you have been employed by that employer, in what job(s) and should indicate when you are expected back at work;

– if you are self-employed, evidence of your business activities and financial standing;

– evidence of any property you own in your home country;

– if you are a student, a letter from your school or college stating which course you are on, its start and finish dates and the dates of the holiday period during which you intend to visit the United Kingdom;

– it will also help if you can show that you have family or social ties and responsibilities to return to;

– evidence of any firm travel plans you have made;

– bank statements going back over a period of several months; and

– evidence of savings available to you.

This will depend on which category you are applying for entry under. In all cases you will need to make your application online or fill in an application form. You will also need the following.

- Your passport or travel document.

– A recent passport-sized (45mm x 35mm), colour photograph of yourself.

This should be:

– taken against a light coloured background

– clear and of good quality, and not framed or backed

– printed on normal photographic paper, and

– full face and without sunglasses, hat or other head covering unless you wear this for cultural or religious reasons (but the face must not be covered).

– The visa fee. This cannot be refunded, and you must normally pay it in the local currency of the country where you are applying.

– Supporting documents relevant to your application.
