UK visa application documents can vary depending on the visa category, purpose of travel, accommodation and travel plan, and the applicant’s employment status. For applicants from Pakistan, identity and family relationship documents issued by NADRA are also commonly used to support the application, especially in sponsorship and under-18 cases.
