Which Countries Now Need a UK Visa for Visits Under Six Months?

The UK has updated its Visitor rules to confirm which nationals must obtain entry clearance for any stay under six months. More than 100 countries and territories are on the list, including stateless persons and travellers using non-passport documents issued outside the UK. Special exemptions apply to some Chinese and Taiwanese nationals. Key countries now requiring a visa include China, Taiwan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and many more across Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. Anyone planning a short trip to the UK should check the revised Immigration Rules appendix to see if they need a visa and the conditions for exemptions.
