The fee is around £127 (≈ ₹14,000) for a six-month multiple-entry visa, with standard processing about three weeks (priority tiers cost more). You will need an online application, six months of bank statements, salary slips and ITRs, an employer NOC, your confirmed itinerary and accommodation, plus a sponsor letter if family in the UK are hosting you. Full guidance is in the Visas guide.

For NRI travellers visiting family, travel patterns track diaspora life — summer holidays, Diwali and Christmas — rather than tourist seasons. Manchester is also a handy base for Liverpool (about 50 minutes by train) and Edinburgh. For what to see and where to stay, see the Manchester destination guide.
