General required documents for a Visa Application:
Visas
Immigration to the UK is becoming tougher, particularly for those seeking to work or study. The following table indicates who will need a visa for what, but make sure you check the website of the UK Border Agency (www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa) or with your local British embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date information.
Visa Extensions
Tourist visas can be extended as long as the total time spent in the UK is less than six months, or in clear emergencies (eg an accident, death of a relative). Contact the UK Visas and Immigration Contact Centre for details.
