What are the types of UK Visas Application Forms?

Applying for any kind of visa requires submitting an online or paper visa application with the required documents. However, often you have to fill both or partly online, partly paper as many require applying in person or showing up at the appointment.

The visa application should be done in an application form that is intended for the category under which the candidate is applying, and on the date of the application. Application forms for UK Visa can be updated (reorganized) from time to time from the Home Office.

The best way to see if you are holding the right updated version is by looking for the latest version on the website of the Home Office (right before you decide to apply for a specific visa). Read on to find out the completed list of Visa forms from the Home Office or UK National Archives.
