United Kingdom
The United Kingdom, composed of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, is the sixth largest economy in the world and has a population of 68 million people. While the U.K. is a small country, just a bit smaller than the U.S. state of Oregon, it packs a heavy punch and is a cultural and economic superpower. British culture and influence is found all throughout the planet, and has largely shaped the world we live in today. The United Kingdom is one of the world’s top travel destinations and is visited by over 35 million tourists per year.
London is the country’s political and economic capital and is also one of the most visited cities in the world. While home to many iconic landmarks such as the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Ben Ben and Tower Bridge, it is also home to some of the world’s largest financial institutions that power our global economy. The U.K. is so rich in history and culture—from Shakespeare’s home in Stratford-upon-Avon to the Beatles home in Liverpool, neolithic stone circles in the Cotswolds to ancient thermal spas in Bath, afternoon tea in London to Scotch whisky in Edinburgh—that you will find unlimited opportunities for exploration and wonder!
Why Choose Visa Supply?
The United States and United Kingdom share a close relationship so U.S. citizens only need to bring their passports with them if they are traveling to the U.K. for vacation or casual (non-paid) business purposes. However, if you are moving to the U.K to study, to work, or accompany a spouse, you will need a visa. Visa Supply can assist with any of these types of visas. There are also several countries whose citizens require a visitor visa to travel to the U.K., even if they are only going for tourism purposes or visiting family. Getting a visa to the U.K. can be a bit complicated, but Visa Supply can help guide you through the process from start to finish. Just contact us today if you need help!
