My Brazilian fianc茅 and I are going through a procedure to get our marriage recognized by the Belgian government.聽 This procedure requires that she is not allowed to leave the country for 6 months, until there is a reply from the foreign affairs service in our capital.

She hasn't had holidays for more than 1 year now and she can't wait to visit London. But I have not been there since Brexit and it's not very clear to me what we both need to get in, and what it will cost.

At first it said on a UK government website that non EU citizens need all kinds of documents. But when I fill out the questionnaire it says this:

You can stay in the UK as a tourist for up to 6 months without a visa, but you must meet the Standard Visitor eligibility requirements"

And subsequently

Apply for a Standard Visitor visa

If you need a Standard Visitor visa, you must apply online before you travel to the UK and attend an appointment at a visa application centre.

The earliest you can apply is 3 months before you travel.

You must meet the eligibility requirements and only do permitted activities.

Depending on your nationality, you may not need a visa to visit the UK. You can check if you need a visa before you apply.

Visa fees

You can apply for a Standard Visitor visa, or if you visit the UK regularly you can choose to apply for a long-term Standard Visitor visa instead.

Fee聽聽 Maximum length of stay

Standard Visitor visa聽聽拢115聽聽 6 months

Is this correct?

115 pounds per person just for a travel permit, isn't very appealing.

Every indication on the site of the Consulate General of the United Kingdom in S茫o Paulo indicates that a Brazilian citizen聽 and a Belgian citizen who do not have a criminal record and have not already been making frequent visits to the UK do not need a visa to visit the UK for up to six months fi they meet the eligibility requirements shown on this page:

Navigation on the site is not intuitive, and this page only appears several levels down from the "Start Now" button on the "Check if you need a UK visa" page.

If you're still in doubt, contact the British Embassy in Brussels with additional questions.

Visa

Brazilian citizens travelling to the United Kingdom for tourism or business purposes benefit from visa exemption for stays of up to 180 days.聽 If travelling for other purposes (work, study, internship, volunteer work, family reunion, marriage etc.), the persons concerned must seek the advice of the British authorities to check whether they need a visa, as well as other requirements to enter or remain in the country:
