no, they dont accept scanned document at all, submitting scanned document will surely lead to your visa refusal but in the embassy they will ask you whether if u want to submit with the scanned document but i advise you dont you ever use scanned documents in your visa application, Good luck in your application.

lolatom:

Please I want to find out if the British embassy accepts scanned documents of the invitee? utility bills,statement of account and invitation letter.
Urgent reply needed,
THanks all.

Vicjustice:

In the actual sense, they do accept scanned documents and they are more than happy to do so as it makes their visa refusal decision easier

lolatom:

In the actual sense, I got a reasonable response from a responsible individual already.
Thanks anyway.

@all
Work permit holders under Tier 2 Point Based System to loose automatic right to settle in the UK! See link below

And read the proposed changes in the PDF document on the right side of the website.

Obvious the UK is nearing the 1980s immigrants most go protest era. So it seems they only want the brightest of the elites rogues like russian tycoons, nigeria mega-all-night rich politicians as settlers.

Do they really think people gamble with thier lives in choosing to go work overseas?

hello house, pls i need info,

i applied last yr 4 a uk visitor, under tourist visa, i was granted a 6months visa, wch has expired, i used it once last yr.i now want to renew my visa/apply for a 2yr visa, can i still apply as a tourist?, or family visitor?

Siena:

There's no reason why you can't apply as a tourist, assuming you kept to the terms of your previously granted visa. The duration you'll be given is entirely discretionary, but it's likely to be greater than 6 months.

shawonlese:

@Amykelly,
When you are issued a visa, if it is multiple entry, you can travel for as many times as possible and you can stay for any length of time, provided that you do not stay beyond the Expiry date on your visa.

T daves:

Thanks for all your comments in this forum. It was quiet helpful, I applied for a family visiting visa last two weeks. Although I was refused in 2009 when i wanted to attend my cousins wedding ceremony because i did nt have enough funds.

Anyway, this time around I took so many suggestions into consideration before submitting my application this time around.

This is my story, I believe it could be a learning point for others:

I had officially changed my surname, my e-passport, which will expire in jan 2013 still bears my old name, but all my current documents now bears my new surname. Lots of people suggested\advise that I should get a new passport, and that the ECO are very strict concerning name change especially if its a man that is changing name and that I have to travel down to abuja. But after making enquiries, I realized, I will spend more money like 50K and still bear the cost of going down to abuja. And i cant even withstand the hassle\stress with those immigration people. My wife and I decided to apply with my old passport and stated the reasons which was address to ECO in a cover letter.

Another concern that I had was that the invitation letter that we have was an informal letter from my aunty. I contacted my aunty to write a formal invitation letter which must be addressed to British embassy and she educated me that she does not need to write British embassy. That i should include her phone number in my application, if needs be, they will contact her. IT was purely a personal letter from her  to me,  she was more or less GISTING with me in the letter. Although she gave me her work details, bio-data page, Visa page and her professional code to include in our application.

I went to pick the passport on Friday and the visa was granted to us, I was given 6months while my wife was given 2years (she has been to u.k before).

Hope this clarify someone doubt.

Umm, I think you'll find the maximum time one can remain in the UK is 6 months at a stretch, a 2-year visa permits multiple entry, but one can't remain in the country beyond 6 months continuous.
