Number of days for UK Visa

score:3

Accepted answer

Your application should definitely tell the full truth about the trip you're planning.

If you deliberately hide part of your plans in the application, that can create real problems for you in subsequent applications, even if what you're doing is itself within the limits of the visa you're given, and even if what you're doing is itself innocuous. You'd get yourself labeled as "someone whose claims in the visa application we can't trust".

On the other hand, there's not much reason to hide the week of tourism. If you can afford to eat and sleep during that week, and you won't find yourself thrown out of your studies and job for being absent in that period (which I assume you can; otherwise you wouldn't ask), then you don't need to meet any higher burden for the visa. After all, the main risk they want to guard against is that you stay illegally once you've entered, and it's not going to make that risk any less likely to say that you can only come if you leave immediately after the conference.
