I want to use the winter vacation to travel to the UK to visit my sister. I have consulted a travel agency to apply for a personal travel visa or a visiting friend or relative visa, but we are cousins.

My suggestion is to get a tourist visa. It is easier to prepare materials for immediate family members, but more troublesome for others. Of course, no invitation letter is required for travel, and it is relatively easy for students to sign. British visas do not require an interview. The official processing time is three weeks (90% of cases). Of course, it can normally be issued in one week, but it may also take two months.
