UK citizen with Kosova wife planning to visit UK

Post by Chris85 » Mon Jul 03, 2017 2:03 pm

Hi. I am new here. Basically, to summarise, I am a UK citizen with British passport (born in UK) but live now in Kosovo with my wife. My wife was born in Kosovo, is a Kosovo citizen with Kosovo passport. We are planning to visit my family in the UK soon and I was just looking for some advice on what kind of visa, if any, she will need in order to enter the UK for 2 weeks holiday with myself for the aforementioned reasons. I phoned the British Embassy to enquire about this but they just directed me to a website and said they no longer deal with such enquires/applications. Thus far, I have been unable to find the information I require and was just wondering if anyone here might be able to help me?
Any information would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance and kind regards to you all.

If you are planning on visiting, then your wife need to apply for a visitor's visa, and show that she has ties to Kosovo, to return after the visit. Also sho there is sufficient fund to maintain he holiday.

Thank you for this information, you have been very helpful. I was looking at what kind of visa she would need and came across this type but wasn't sure if it was the correct one. This has helped me clarify what steps to take next.
