Multiple Entry Visitor Visas – Keep Coming Back (2025 Guide)

If you travel to the UK often for family, business, or leisure, a multiple entry visitor visa may be perfect for you. It saves time, avoids repeated applications, and gives you peace of mind when travelling regularly.

The Home Office offers 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year visitor visas, each allowing short visits of up to six months per trip.

At AHJ Immigration, we help frequent travellers, professionals, and families secure long-term visitor visas with strong supporting evidence.

What Is a Multiple Entry Visitor Visa?

A multiple entry visa allows you to visit the UK several times without reapplying each time.
It is part of the Standard Visitor Visa category and is valid for several years, depending on the type you choose.

You can use it for:

• Visiting family and friends
• Tourism and holidays
• Business meetings or short training
• Attending special events or conferences

Each visit can last up to six months. You must leave the UK at the end of every visit.

Types of Multiple Entry Visas

All types follow the same rules — the only difference is how long they remain valid.

Who Should Apply

A multiple entry visitor visa is ideal for:

• Business travellers who attend regular meetings or events in the UK
• Families who visit loved ones often
• Frequent tourists who enjoy regular UK trips
• Parents visiting children studying or living in the UK

You must have a good travel history to qualify. Applicants with previous overstays or refusals may be refused.

The Home Office checks your travel record carefully before granting a long-term visa.

• Do not stay longer than six months per visit.
• Avoid applying for back-to-back visas without spending enough time outside the UK.
• Maintain strong ties to your home country (employment, property, or family).
• Keep copies of previous visas and entry stamps for future renewals.

Common Mistakes

• Applying without a clear reason for frequent visits
• Submitting inconsistent travel history
• Using old or unclear financial documents
• Applying soon after a previous refusal
• Overstaying a past visa

We help applicants prepare consistent, well-documented applications that reflect genuine travel intentions.

Can You Work or Study on a Multiple Entry Visa?

No.
You cannot work, study long-term, or live in the UK on this visa.
You may take short courses under six months or attend unpaid business meetings, but that’s all.

If you plan to work or study, you will need a Skilled Worker or Student Visa.

Benefits of a Multiple Entry Visa

• Save time by avoiding repeated applications
• Travel freely to the UK for business or family visits
• Maintain flexibility for last-minute travel
• Build a trusted travel record for future UK visas
