    Visa vignettes issued for UK visas

    A visa vignette is the physical visa that is added to a traveller’s passport or travel
    document.

    The UK Visa and Immigration service uses different types of visa vignette.

    CAT C vignettes

    The “CAT C” vignette (figure 1) is currently used in limited circumstances for visa
    nationals coming to the UK as a visitor or transiting the UK:

    Figure 1

    UKVI stopped issuing CAT C vignettes for most visas in June 2019. Caseworkers
    continue to have the ability to post-date the validity of a vignette for up to 3 months
    (90 days), therefore some CAT C vignettes issued during June 2019 will have a
    validity date that starts up to 3 months later.

    The CAT C vignette is only used to print visas where permission to enter is granted
    for 3 months (90 days) or less. These visas include:

    • approved destination status (ADS) agreement visas (valid for 30 days for
    Chinese nationals)
    • visitor in transit (valid for a stay of up to 48 hours)
    • direct airside transit visas (DATV)
    • any visit visa where the caseworker decides, based on the specific
    circumstances of the application, to restrict the validity of the visa to 3 months
    or less

    All CAT C visas remain valid for travel to and/or through the UK until they expire. The
    visa validity date is shown on the vignette, where it states: ‘visa valid for the United
    Kingdom from (date) until (date)’.

    CAT D vignettes

    Since June 2019 the “CAT D” vignette (figure 2) is used for almost all categories
    including visit, employment, study and settlement. Vignettes for employment, study
    and settlement are usually valid for 30 days to enable the holder to travel to the UK
    and collect their Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).
