ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible, you must be a national of Kuwait, Oman, Qatar or United Arab Emirates. You must also have details of your journey as well as your accommodation in the UK.

A UK Visit Visa in 48 hours online
An UK E-Visa (EVW) allows you to visit the UK for up to 6 months for tourism, business, study or medical treatment. If you’re visiting for another reason, your visa consultant will advise you otherwise.
Once submitted, you should have your visa in around 24 hours. You can apply up to three months before your journey. But if your journey changes, your UK e-Visa will also need to be updated.
Please ensure that you have to hand, when you apply:
- a copy of your current passport that you can upload.
- details of the address that you will be staying in the UK.
- your flight details (including departure and arrival times).
