As a UK tourist visa applicant, you must be able to demonstrate that you have a genuine reason for visiting the UK, can maintain and accommodate yourself during the visit and have sufficient ties to your home country to show the authorities that you have an intention to leave the UK. Although you may be sponsored by a third party, the Entry Clearance Officers (ECOs) will consider your own personal circumstances too.
It is permitted to apply for UK tourist visas with a validity period of; 6 months, 2 years, 5 years or 10 years with varying applicable fees. However, the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) has discretion and may issue a visa with a shorter validity period than applied for. Usually UK tourism visas are valid for multiple entries to the UK during the validity period indicated on the vignette.

As a starting point, the individual should not spend more than 6 months in the UK in any rolling 12-month period, although this is a guide only and not stated in the immigration rules. The Immigration Officer at the port of entry has the authority to make an assessment on the individual’s intentions which can lead to tourist visitor visas being cancelled and refusal of entry to the UK.
It is not possible to add dependant family members to a UK tourist visa application. However, they may submit their own application which will usually be processed at the same time as the ‘main applicant’.
