Should you choose a long-term visa?
A long-term visa lets you visit many times, but each visit is normally still limited to six months, and the caseworker must be satisfied you are a genuine visitor over the whole period. It suits people with a regular reason to visit, such as children or grandchildren in the UK, and a strong record of returning.
