Changes to the Visitor route / 23 October 2020

Home Office - UK Visas & Immigration UK Indians at UK

The Home Office is amending the visitor rules in line with the simplification principles to:

  • Permit study of up to six months under the standard visit route. All non-recreational study must be undertaken at an accredited institution. Recreational courses undertaken for leisure, that last no longer than 30 days and which do not lead to any formal qualifications, will not need to be undertaken at an accredited institution.
  • Allow drivers on genuine international routes to collect as well as deliver goods and passengers in and out of the UK. This is to clarify the provisions.
  • Harmonise the extension rules for visiting academics undertaking the full range of permitted activities as academics. This is to clarify the provisions.
  • Remove the requirement for volunteering to be incidental to the main reason for the visit. This is to clarify the provision.
  • Uncouple the sporting and creative Permitted Paid Engagement provisions. This will also allow us to start addressing the differing requirements of the two cohorts in a more tailored way.
