The Standard Visitor visa covers tourism, visiting family, and most short business activities. You will need to show funds, ties to your home country and a clear travel purpose. Processing typically takes around three weeks, though priority services exist.
The UK and EU changes happened for similar reasons and around the same period.

If you travel to the UK regularly, a long-validity Standard Visitor visa (available for 2, 5 or 10 years) can save repeated applications, though each stay is still capped at six months. Apply online, book biometrics early in peak season, and carry proof of accommodation and onward travel. For business visits, confirm your activities fall within the permitted list before you go.
