Obtaining a visitor's visa to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ( the UK), is a daunting and usually difficult task. I also think it is more difficult to get a visitor's visa to the UK from some countries than others and therefore for some nationalities than others, although this is not admitted official UK government policy. Poorer people from poorer countries definitely have a harder time convincing UK embassy staff to grant a visitor's visa to the UK. This is not their personal vendetta, but a reflection of government policy, which, in turn, is supposed to be a reflection of the opinion of the majority of the population of the UK. It is a good idea to bear this in mind when dealing with the embassy staff regarding a UK visa application for yourself or a friend.
