Parents & Grand Parents Super Visa

Super Visa applicants are allowed to have an Extended Visitor’s Visa, unlike a regular visitor’s visa that allows a 10-year multiple entry visa that is valid approximately for six months. The peculiarity of the Super Visa is that it allows an applicant to have multiple entries for the stays of around two consecutive years in a single visit which has a validity period of a maximum of 10 years.
