Quick answer — United Kingdom visa
What each document means for your United Kingdom visa
Flight reservation
UKVI assesses whether your travel plans are credible and affordable — a verifiable flight reservation is supporting evidence of those plans, not a paid ticket and not a mandatory checklist item. Ours is a genuine GDS booking the caseworker could check at the source.
Hotel reservation
Accommodation evidence supports a Standard Visitor application when you are staying in hotels. We issue a genuine, verifiable hotel reservation matching your itinerary dates — refundable-style proof without paying for the stay upfront.
Travel insurance
Travel insurance is strongly recommended for any UK trip, but it is not normally a mandatory Standard Visitor visa document. If you want cover, our policies are issued by a licensed IRDAI partner with an instant certificate.
