Russian with Netherlands residency; is a visa needed for UK holiday? [duplicate]

What is required for her to enter the UK?

Other info which is likely important: her Dutch residence permit needs to be renewed on 27th Feb 2018, and travel to London is 14th February 2018.

Best Answer

She will need a Standard Visitor visa.

If you had a documentable "lasting relationship" with her, she could possibly qualify for an EEA Family Permit instead (which would be free, in contrast to a visa, and may have easier documentation requirements), but given what you have explained in comments, that doesn't sound likely.
