UK Visa: Do they need/require third country visa at time of application?

score:4

Accepted answer

Does the UK visa application require me to furnish my outbound plans at the time of application?

Yes, however for a Standard Visitor visa you are not required to show travel bookings.

  • You’ll need to provide the following information in your online application:

  • the dates you’re planning to travel to the UK

  • where you’ll be staying during your visit

  • how much you think your trip will cost

The guidance on documents you should not use as evidence includes:

  • hotel bookings
  • flight bookings (unless transiting)

In your other question you mention in a comment that you plan to stay two weeks in the UK. If a round trip from your country of residence to the UK is credible, you can show you have the means to pay for it, and a compelling reason to leave at the end of the visit (job, family ties etc) I don’t see any reason why you cannot present that plan to the UK. They don’t care where you leave to, only that you will leave.

If I am going to a third country from the UK, do I need a visa of that country?

Yes if if you’ll be going through UK border control but leaving the UK within 48 hours.
