I am a British citizen but my kids are not (ages 10 & 12). How do I get a visa for them to visit the UK?

I have just tried this online system, and while some of the questions are a teeny bit off beam for a child, if you answer them in a simple way without trying to read to much into it, you eventually get pointed towards questions and answers that make sense. I did not go further than what I will demonstrate below – BUT I think the online application will work out OK.

This is where you apply: Online Short Stay Visitors Visa for the UK

Just keep going through – remember that you are answering for the child not yourself, and that you are paying for everything.
