Hi, I applied for a visit visa for UK from Dubai and received my eVisa notification earlier this month on my UKVI account. However, while my application was still processing, I have had to travel to Pakistan for some personal errands. I was able to do it because I had my passport, as is the new ...

Thanks for your reply. I just want to make sure I have understood correctly. Are you saying that we should apply for her extension in September, even though she has spent only around four months in the UK at the start of her current visa, plus about one month during a later visit? She would then ...

No, there is no strict or specific limit on the number of days you can spend outside the UK while holding a spouse visa. Unlike work or ancestry visas, the spouse visa route does not enforce a rigid "maximum 180 days abroad per year" rule for standard extensions (FLR(M)) or for Indefinite Leave to ...

She was here just last year. That's a positive. Renewals are as scrutinized as fresh applications. She should use the statement of account. Afterall, she doesn't have to explain the monies because it doesn't belong to her, but to her sponsor.
It should be fine.

Hi guys. Should the most recent bank statement be within 28 days for a visit visa? The applicant has 6 months of statements but the last month has a large transfer with no documention.

She obviously doesn't work and this seems like the best you can do.

It seems detailed enough.

Ok thanks for the clarification.

The whole idea is that you must have integrated with all walks of life and not restrict yourself to your inner circle. You must have colleague, social friends, neighbours and generally formed part of your society.
It's time for that society to vouch for you.

HI all, I'm due to renew my visa on the private life route. It seems some things may have changed as whilst filling in the form, I was asked if I have done the English test.

You cannot switch from a visitor visa to a dependant visa from within the UK. ILR dependant visa does not exist. I understand what you're trying to say, but not to confuse other readers and for clarity, ILR visa dependant visa DOES exist. Your dependants will remain as Skilled Worker dependants ...

This isn't usually an experience that most people have. However, here are factors you have to consider. An ETD cannot be used like a normal passport. It's mostly valid for a single trip. Example, you're travelling from Hong Kong back to the UK and flying through Turkey. You might be allowed to stop ...

You and your sister don't need to both invite your mum. There's no contest of who has the most family in the UK. It's usually has the adverse effect most times (counterproductive). One of you should send the invite. Send her an invite letter addressed to the British consul in your home country ...

My partner is Italian and has got a British citizenship last year but hasn't applied for passport due to nearly weekly travel. Now he's abroad and won't be able to get ETA to come back. How can he fly back to the UK? Been reading that Eurostar is an option but Eurostar also asks for ETA ...

Just an update, I gave them the flight tickets and boarding passes. Luckily while going through old letters, somehow managed to get a vaccination appointment record, a discharge letter from A&E dated in 2024. When checked with the GP, they provided with vaccination record of the child (this should ...

Not sure your marriage certs does that. what about GP letters, surely you must have that. You can also use bank letters if you have to. Letters from any source like Electricity. Ideally from 3 different sources, but if you don't have that, it is what it is.
