Visa to the UK
As a document that allows legal entry and stay in the UK, a visa is essential for many people. Without a valid visa, there are many serious legal and administrative consequences. Due to Brexit, as of October 1, 2021, a passport is also required to enter the UK. Only those with settled status in the UK can continue to use an ID card.

A visa to the UK should be applied for even before arriving in the country. You apply on the official UK government website, where you can find detailed instructions and application forms.
