📝 Covering Letter for a UK Visit Visa

(Optional but Powerful)

Although not a formal requirement, including a personal supporting letter (also called a covering letter) with your UK visit visa application can make a real difference. It helps the UKVI caseworker understand your situation clearly and quickly.

This letter can explain:

  • The purpose of your visit

  • Your travel plans and itinerary

  • Your financial situation

  • Your ties to your home country

  • Any unusual aspects (like gaps in employment, recent large deposits, or family emergencies)

💡 Why Include a Personal Letter?

A well-written cover letter:

  • Clarifies your case for the decision officer

  • Shows you are genuine, organised, and transparent

  • Helps link all your documents together clearly
