United Kingdom: proof of travel and stay
UKVI does not require a purchased ticket, but a clear travel plan with dated reservations strengthens a standard visitor application.
Typical checklist
- Travel itinerary with intended dates
- Accommodation details for the stay
- Financial evidence for the last 6 months
- Proof of ties to your home country
Processing time: 3 weeks (standard)
Practical tips
- Never submit a booking you cannot evidence — UKVI may verify it.
- Keep your cover letter aligned with the reservation dates.
