Uk visit visa for inlaws

[Alan34]

Hi

My husband wants to apply uk visit visa for his parents. His father was retired and getting pension as an income.
My doubt is - to show property in India, he doesn't have any property on his name. We can show only income and fixed deposits. But we can show property on my mother in law name. Will there be any problem as main applicant(father in law) doesn't have any property registered in his name.

on the property do they get any rental income? if they do include the rental lease agreement

Its Ok to have property on his mother in law given they live together.

the letter from applicants should also show strong ties to home country- its extremely important. example other close family members, properties, rental income etc .

I am not an expert - just sharing the best what i know .

Cheers

No rental agreement. Along with fixed deposit,shares and insurance., The only thing is father in law getting pension. It can be shown in bank statements. Please suggest what to do in this situation.

with your situation you have to do the best you can

they should submit the following at a minimum: every application is different

Pension proof
Bank statement showing pension coming in to the account each month
Proof of Property on your MIL's name
you mentioned showing income and FD. then keep copy of them
also if they have an FD,i assume the interests will be hitting their bank accounts every month/quarterly. make sure you mention this on the invitation letter/application form.
A net worth certificate/letter from accountant will help - where the accountant can say their joint annual/monthly income is X amount from pension, FD interests, etc

The above will prove and comply with funds required for an applicant, but for showing strong ties i am not certain it covers everything what an ECO may look for.

do they have any other children living in their country? a letter from them may help stating they all live as joint family and they look after your in laws. Note: only say what is legit. I am just guessing here so do your own research.

Good Luck

Thank you for replying

They had a married daughter in USA and one year back they visited and came back in 3months.

Can we show mil and fil's parents proof in India, saying they have to come back to look after their old aged parents

you an say many things to show strong ties- but whatever you say you need to back it up with evidence.

example: do they stay in the same house as their parents etc.

When applying visa for inlaws , do we need to pay visa fee double(for both applicants).

Yes you do. They are assessed as separate applications.
