<p>Applications for a visa to travel to the UK to visit family are considered on their
merits, in accordance with the requirements set out in Appendix V to the Immigration
Rules, taking into account the information and supporting documents provided in the
application.</p><p> </p><p>It is for the applicant to satisfy the decision maker that
they meet those requirements, including that they are a genuine visitor. A genuine
visitor is a person who will leave the UK at the end of the visit, will not live in
the UK for extended periods or make the UK their main home, has sufficient funds for
their support during the visit and who intends to undertake permitted visit activities
and not prohibited activities. The assessment of the genuineness of a visitor relates
to the particular factors of the individual application, but may include the applicant’s
personal and economic ties to their country of residence.</p>
