Visa document guide
Self-sponsored vs sponsored visitor visa
Compare self-funded and sponsored visitor visa preparation, including when sponsor details are useful and when applicant funds are enough.
What to prepare
Self-sponsored trips focus on applicant funds, income, and ties.
Sponsored trips also need payer identity, relationship, and ability to support.
A family host can provide accommodation without paying all trip costs.
VisaFlow AI keeps payer and host questions separate so the flow stays logical.

Uses passport OCR and structured answers to reduce repeated typing.
