This permit will be issued to the tourist. This permission is valid for a period of two years, beginning on February 1 of the following year, and the process of getting it takes only around three working days.
This electronic permit will allow its holders to enter the United Kingdom and reside there for a period of six months as a tourist, or to visit a relative, or for the purpose of conducting business, or for short-term studies, or to obtain transit visas through airports in the United Kingdom, or for temporary work for a period of three months.
