I am applying for the UK standard visit visa. I have filled my application and also entered details of my children traveling with me (it suggested that they still need to have separate applications filled)  Now I have started filling my 11 years old daughter's application, and there are few things the form is asking which are a bit confusing:     What is the ownership status of your home   Shall I choose 'other' and highlight that she is not renting it?     How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK? (Required)    Should I put the same amount for my daughter as well which I entered for myself?      What is the total amount of money you spend each month? (Required)    Not sure what to fill here, it does not allow me to enter 0, is it OK to enter pocket money amount?

We are sponsoring a family to visit us in UK as friends from Madagascar for two weeks. They have a 6 year old and a 16 month old.   Do the kids need their own visas, and are they the standard visitor visa or a special child visa?   Also, when I try and apply on the website I can only apply for one person so how do I apply for all the individuals in the family?   I have looked on the Immigration website and can't find the answers I need.

My friend applied for a UK visa last month (that is, June 2015) for 3 weeks in the UK, but got 6 months. Since she got more days, she decided to extend her stay, because she has a six-month visa with 180 days to stay. She left from Kenya on Thursday evening, but they refused her entry and canceled her visa because she decided to extend her stay from 3 weeks to 5 months.  She did this because the visa is valid for 6 months. We can't understand whether this is right. Nowhere on the visa is there anything to indicate that she can only stay for a certain period of time. It indicates 180 days duration of stay. Can she appeal?

Hopefully a quick question - I am a US citizen currently residing in the UK on a visa. I am traveling to the US for 2 weeks with my wife, who is a British citizen. We do not yet share a last name (due to just not filing the paperwork yet and just being married recently).  She does not have any visas apart from the standard ESTA and there are no other further requirements, such as money, which we would need to worry about.  I've read online that since we are a family we should join the same line together when coming into the US border at the airport. However, because we don't share a last name, would this still apply? Should we just use our own appropriate lines? Would there be any issues with using our own lines?  If we do use one line only, which line?  US citizen or non-US?

I am considering whether there is any paperwork I should be collecting for future tourist visa applications.   I am a British Citizen, US Permanent Resident, and my recent travel outside the US and EU has been group tours and cruises. I have been treated as having low risk of overstay etc. However, bureaucracy happens, and I want to be prepared.  The potential problem is that I am retired. No job, no school. A lot of visa granting seems to depend on jobs to prove monthly income and intent to return home.  I transfer a fixed allowance from an investment account to my checking account each month, and treat that as though it were my income. The investment account can go up and down in value quite dramatically over periods of months, because it contains stocks and bonds as well as cash equivalents.  I have no family in the US. I do have a house I like, and consider my home.  Is there any paperwork should I be collecting to maximize my chances of getting any tourist visas I might want in the future? Possible non-EU countries include Russia, Mongolia, and several countries in sub-Saharan Africa. EU may become an issue, depending on the terms of the Brexit divorce.  =======================================================================  I agree with the comments that I am likely to get most visas with no problem. That has been my practical experience. The question is what I should do to guard against exceptions, such as an excessively bureaucratic process requiring me to prove intent to return home.

I am a Canadian applying for a UK Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa.  At one point during the application process, it asks if I have ever been denied entry into the UK, but I am not sure what to answer with.  A few months ago I was returning to the UK again after visiting it recently on a tourist visa. I was coming for the birthday of my friend and her son (their birthdays are close together).  Immigration was wondering why I was back again so soon and were a bit suspicious about my funds so they detained me for around 3-4 hours. They took my fingerprints and interviewed me. Afterwards they phoned my friend and after talking to her on the phone (she explained everything) they let me go through and enter the UK.  So in the end, they let me enter the UK.  So was I technically refused entry? Should I say that I was refused entry on my application? I'm afraid that it looks bad and might automatically get me denied, even though I was let through in the end.

I am about to apply for a UK Standard Visitor visa on an Indian passport. I have sufficient funds as shown by bank statements and am a full-time employed permanent resident of Canada. The application requires me to state whether I have friends/family and then requires all their details (their status in UK, address etc). I have a few old friends and one cousin but do not want to add them because of the details required.  Do you think it is a plus point or can go against me if I say "NO" to Do you have friends or family in UK?

I have a Serbian girlfriend who I have visited in Belgrade 4 times now and she is planning a trip to the UK for her 2 weeks vacation in 2 months from now ().  When applying for this visa she must state the main reason for her visit, which is for her to see me and stay with me, also some travel to meet my friends and family etc. Thus, she must also state her relationship to me.  However, various people who have some experience of/heard stories about UK visa applications for such reasons are constantly telling us that we should never mention that I am her boyfriend or that she is my girlfriend, as she may then be refused. However, we plan to marry after my divorce (in process) is completed in 3-4 months time, so I do not under any circumstances wish to be deceptive so as to risk jeopardising our subsequent application for her to come here on a fiancée/marriage visa, as I read about .  Do the "rumours" hold any truth? Should we do as I suggest and declare that we are boyfriend/girlfriend? Is there anything specific we should be aware of to document and declare about our releationship for the initial Standard Visitor visa?

It seems like that this question has been asked for visas to other countries, but I am not sure if it applies juts the same for a UK short-term visit visa.  I want to visit UK for 2 weeks and the visa asks for the "details of where you’ll be staying during your visit".   In the application, I need to provide the address and phone number of where I'll be staying. Is the normal approach to this (assuming I plan on staying in hotels or hostels and have no family members there) to just book a refundable hotel reservation?   Also, if I plan on visiting several different cities in UK (ie. London, Manchester, Edinburgh), should I just put the first place I am staying at on the application? I can then attach an itinerary of the trip with the address and phone number of a hotel booked in each city for the duration I am there.

I am applying for a UK visa. Can I show 5 months worth of bank statements for the UK visa, or is 6 months a requirement, as its not mentioned on their website?  There are no appointment dates showing in April. Is there any time limit in which we have to book an appointment after paying the fee?

I have a valid (multiple entry) business visit visa to the UK on my old passport. I have recently obtained a new passport as I ran out of pages on my old passport. The purpose of my visit is still for business and there are no change in personal details on my new passport. There is however a change in address on the new passport. Incidentally it is the same address that I filled out for my UK visa application while answering the query "WHAT IS YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS AND CONTACT DETAILS?"  In light of the above, can I still travel to the UK by carrying both the old and new passports? Or, will I be required to either transfer the visa or make a fresh application for my new passport. Thanks.

I am a 21 year old from Canada applying for a Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa.  This is my travel history in the UK:  1: October 20th 2017 - Mid January 2018  2: Approx January 29th 2018 - January 31st 2018 (was in UK for around 2-3 days just catching a flight from London to Norway  3: March 15th - April 31st 2018  On my application it asks for my two most recent trips to the UK. I can ONLY list two maximum. I cannot list all three.  Should I not include my transit trip as it was so minor?   Basically should I list my March and January trips?  Or should I list my March and October trips?  I don't want to seem like I'm hiding my October history. But I want to do what's best.  Thank you!

Are my German residence card and South African passport sufficient for entry into the UK for a few days to visit a friend? Should I, in addition to this, still apply for an EEA Family Permit or some other UK entry visa?   I am a non-EEA national spouse of an EEA national (Hungarian wife), my residence permit, valid for 5 years and issued by the German authorities, gives me free movement throughout the EU &amp; with freedom to work in Germany.   My concern is that I will be travelling alone without my EEA national spouse, and an article on the Gov.UK site says     You may use this document for travel to the UK if you are accompanying your EEA national relative here, or joining your EEA national relative here, or joining your EEA national relative in the UK.   I find no clear answer on the official web sites and would like confirmation. I intend flying from Germany to London, between the 6th to 11th July 2017.

I am a Romanian citizen.  Our co-national friends who are established in Canada will provide me and another person free accommodation and food. We are both EU citizens and we will stay in Canada 1 month.  These days we are gathering documents for our online visa application and we need to prove that we have enough money to spend there.   How much money is generally required in order to be sure we are eligible? We don't plan to spend more than 1000 EUR, but I intend to bring at least 2000 CAD. Is it enough?

I and my family had 10 years UK multiple entry visitor visa which expired about 2 years back.  I want to apply for the same again.    have filled up my application online and saved it.
