TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Birhagos: 8:31am On Nov 06, 2016
Can any one advise please . Apologies for the lengthy post.

Birhagos:
Can some please kindly advise me.

My sister wants to visit UK with her 3 kids this Christmas .
My questions please:

1) I have a 3 bed house where I live with hubby and 1 child can they state they will be staying at my place on the application . I have a spare room.
OR is it best to do a hotel reservation?

2) do I have to send them an invitation letter, or should I just write a letter confirming the visit and that they will leave at the end of their stay?

3) this is the tricky one. She is married , have a 6 month baby , and 2 x 6 year olds . So she currently doesn't work (looking after children) . The hubby has a business which is doing very well and will be fully sponsoring the trip. Will the fact that she doesn't work affect her application ?

4) the hubby is fully sponsoring the trip but won't be travelling with them, will this hurt the application?

5) she doesn't have landed properties in her name, all in her husband's name. Will this count against her if she doesn't supply ties to Nigeria?

6) does she need to include land certificates in husbands name eventhough he isn't travelling with them?

7) my sister is registered as a co director of the company , is it ok to get a letter from the company stating her position and highlighting that she is currently on maternity leave to be returning at a specific date ?

cool here are the list of docs we have gathered , can you please advice if something need adding or removing;

- Cover letter confirming purpose of visit/personal statement
- Passports (mummy & children)
- Passport photos (mummy & children)
- Marriage Certificate
- Children Birth certificates
- Letters from children school
- Utility Bill
- Personal bank statement
- Christmas Tour booking in UK
- Family pictures (few)
- Company recommendation for Applicant stating position in the business and maternity leave (maternity pay?) and date of return to work


Sponsor (husband)
- Copy of passport
- Sponsorship letter
- Consent letter to travel with kids
- Personal bank statement to prove funds
- Company CAC
- Corporate tax registration Certificate with Tax Identification number

Relative in UK
- Letter of invitation ?? Not sure what to call it
- Utility Bill

Testimonies:
Good morning everyone.
Please, I would like to ask if I need to take any form of medical (TB) test and also pay for health surcharge if I am only applying for a 6-month visitors visa to the Uk?
No you don't. It's for applicants coming to the uk on long term. Eg staying in the UK for more than 6 months
