Is UK Visa Required on Danish Residence Permit?

Post by Perdesi007 » Tue Aug 03, 2021 1:59 pm

Hi All,

One of my friends (a Danish residence permit holder with Pakistani passport) is seeking entrance in the UK.

Does she need UK visa to enter here or she can come with visa as she's got a valid Danish Residence Permit?

One more thing to mention here, her husband is a UK national and will be travelling with her.

Thanking you in advance.

Thanks for your quick response.

Is it e-visa she'd need to apply? If yes, any weblink please?

To the best of my knowledge, the UK does not have an e-visa option.

Non-visa-nationals (such as EEA and US citizens) can get a visit visa on arrival, while visa-nationals must apply for and be issued with a visit visa by the British diplomatic authorities in the country of their habitual residence before their departure. Also see the Check if you need a visa page on the Gov.UK website.

As your friend is a Danish residence permit holder, she can apply from Denmark.

As your friend's spouse is a British citizen, your friend can also apply for an EUSS family permit, which is free, but for which the proof required will be different.

For either option (visit visa or EUSS Family Permit), the consideration period will be weeks or months. So, they should factor that into their plans to visit the UK.
