Pathway overview
For visits to the UK of up to 6 months for tourism, visiting family/friends, business activities, or short study.
Verified directly from GOV.UK: you must be able to support yourself and pay for your return or onward journey during your trip (no fixed published figure — self-declared here, same treatment as Canada's and New Zealand's own visitor visas), and you must intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit and not make the UK your main home through frequent or successive visits. You can usually stay for up to 6 months.
