Thank you so much for this video very helpful , how much income is a good look for them that can show you can look after your family member also how does it work for people on government benefits do they still need to show evidence or not x
Hi Nobue, my longtime friend in Tanzania would like to come and visit me in the UK. We have tried twice before, but refused on the grounds of not having enough reason for her to return home, i.e. employment or permanent address. She has since bought a plot of land and had a house built, and is now in possession of the TZ local council residence permit for the house. Our problem now is the employment letter, and 6 months pay slips. She has never had proper employment..... like a lot of people in TZ, always relying on self employment / odd jobs. Would it be better to put "self employed" on the application form, but not be able to provide evidence, or to just put unemployed?? How much "weight" do they put on the employment issue??? After all, most people with 9-5 jobs would not be in a position to leave to country for up to six anyway!
Hie there. I’m sorry to hear that. I honestly have no idea unfortunately. I am not an immigration assistant, I have only shared from my personal experiences inviting my family members who all were employed
Hi nobue you are very clear my dear sister I found this video just when I needed it ❤ God bless you. But I have a question please do find time to reply me. "I want to visit my boyfriend who is in the uk, he has also been to my country to visit me. I just miss him and I want to visit him. Is it OK to mention that his my boyfriend or should I just say friend?
Hie there. Honestly I don’t know if it has any effect whether you say friend or boyfriend. I’ve never been in that situation unfortunately. All the best.
Hi Nobue, regards to bank statement s instead could you provide statements of savings thst show you can afford to sponsor or does it have to be bank statements? Very helpful video thanks!
Hey you mentioned to have a bankstatements without overdraft in your description. my aunt and uncle is sponsoring me and they have an overdraft on their joint account. I was wondering if that would make any difference?
@@NobueKhumalo thank you! I also have one more question, it tells me that upon presenting yourself for an appointment to the visitor center, you need a photograph and biometrics? Is the biometrics done there or do u need to do it separately like in a local police station , etc? Also what kind of photograph did you provide? Thanks for your help! 😀
Hi, I can’t tell you the exact amount, but if you have about £1500 for a month’s stay you should be fine. There’s no set figure so it depends on a lot of things e.g. if they can see that you have a regular salary that counts in your favour
Is it okay to do your biometric in another country other than your current living country because i have to do a trip after application. will that affect my visitor visa decision?
Hi Nobue, thank you so much for sharing. Please what if your sponsor is different from who is inviting you? Whose bank statements and payslip will be use?
One more question please How can I add or download my bank statement and pay slip like this documents to my application. Or should I need to bring them to TLS center
My wife is a British citizen and just gave birth, i want to visit her for some months and spend time with my son. I dont have any sizable savings. How much must my wife have in her account and for how long should she have that amount for her to be able to sponsor me for the trip….
Thanks for the details, they are helpful. My question is when applying for a visit visa and you want to go with your family, at what point of the application will you apply for your family?
hi .. do u think a letter from my Bank just stating that "I can bear the holiday expenses for 3000€ by myself" Would be enough? My bank accont number and ammount of savings is not even stated.
Hi dear noboe .if U have had a biometric finger print in the past 5 years . will it appear if u are to apply for a visitor visa today at d uk embassy ? And if u forgot the date, the reasons for being denied a visa what is the right respond to that?
Hi , thank you for this information what about a teenager thats not working but still in high school. Could the guardian have extra money in their account for them so the tourist visa for both of us can get approved without someone sponsoring.
@@NobueKhumalo hi thank you is it true about someone can visit the UK in 48 hours without a visa? But have to have their passport and papers at the border
Dear Nobue, thank you so much for this helpful video. The question is, if my friend invites me to the UK and also sponsors my trip, who should provide documents as confirmation of current accommodation, salary slips, bank statements, proof of address, I or my friend who invites me or we both? Thanks again!
Both of you need to. She does it to prove she can afford to sponsor you, you do it as part of ID checks and to prove you have connections to your home and will return.
Thanks Nobue, so I want to apply for my mum and dad. my question is when I am filling int the application I could not see the option that I am filling it up on behalf of someone else. shall I just put my email and fill it up with their information as they are filling it up? thanks
Sorry my last question is. The visa is a multiple entry like can I keep coming in and out until the visa expire? Or do I have to apply for specific multiple entry visit visa? Thank you
Thanks for the enlightenment ma'am. Can I use visitor's visa as a platform for permanent resident? Like is it possible getting a job within the six months and getting a work permit helping me to stay above the six months ? I really need this please, I'm actually thinking on following this route to the u.k
Hi Nobue, you have said that you have applied for your mother to come to the yUK, may i ask if she also have put in bank documents even if you’re the one who’s spending for Her during her stay?
Hello! My father is sponsoring my trip to the UK. He has a joint account with my mom and in this joint account there's a large transaction that came in and then out the same day because she's currently helping my 91 year old grandfather sell a property. How can I legitimize and explain this in my UK visa application? My mom has been in constant communication with my grandfather's lawyer with this property sell.
Thanks for the info. If I choose self service and upload all the supporting documents with all the motivation letter and letters from family and friends, on my appointment do I just need to go with only my passport? Please let me know. Thanks
Hie Nobue,, thank you for the information ( im currently applyng for a visitor visa to attend my graduation " the company i work for is sponsoring my trip' they have given me the letter of sponsorship on company letter head , signed( attached is the bank letter ) do they need to include proof of finances on top of the bank letter( and the other thing( do i need to submit proof of criminal checks ( for Zim) i have done for South Africa as im currently working and residing there! Thank you
Hie there you answer simply why that is. It's not a trick question. They just want to know why. Could simply because you are their child and have asked them to visit etc.
@@NobueKhumalo also, I’m flying and staying longer in UK but will be hopping to EU for a week and come back in UK for another week, do you think this will be a problem? I’m also applying to Schengen visa as well. -please advise thank you!
I have a questions please, I have been staying in the uk for a year now and I want to invite my mum, do I need to submit a proof of fund of at least 3 months?? Although I have like 3k pounds in my account.
Thanks Nobu for the information, please kindly help, how can I upload my supporting documents, and lastly my application includes my 2daughters under 16years old . My question is do they need their require their own separate application and do l pay for their applications separately? Thanks
Hi there should be an option to upload documents at the end of your application and there should be instructions on how to do it. I think you can only see them when you get to that stage of the application form. On the children, I'm not sure. I have not seen any exception for children so my guess is you need to do separate applications for them.
@@NobueKhumalo hi, If i was denied a visit visa because i did not give bank statement to show that i can support myself, how long will you advise me to take before i apply for another visit visa?
Thank you Nobubele. Your voice is loud and clear

No, you do not need a TB test for a visitor visa

Hello darling is it important to show the medical insurance and hotel and flight reservations?
No it’s not required
Hello. On other sites, i see that you need a TB test. Is the list you provided in the description all we possibly need? Thanks
Hi there. You don’t need a TB test for a visitor visa. You need one for other residence visas

Hi. Please should the letters be hand written or typed ?
Typed
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much but I never did the 5 letters from people and got it both times
Good for you!
hi, should copy of the invitation letter send directly to the embassy or to come with it to the interview.
You submit it as supporting documentation with the rest of your documents either online or at the embassy
Hi Nobue to sponsor your mother, did you put her pay slips as you said you sponsored her .
If yes then how many months?
Thank you
Hi there. Yes I did. 3 months payslips
How do track your application after you've submitted your biomatrics
Hi can i ask…when you applied how much did you have in your bank account when you applied…
Hi, I can’t tell you the exact amount, but if you have about £1500 for a month’s stay you should be fine. There’s no set figure so it depends on a lot of things e.g. if they can see that you have a regular salary that counts in your favour
Hi Nobue, does the person you’re inviting need to show a certain amount in their bank account please?
Hie there, if you’re sponsoring their costs then they don’t need to
Is it okay to do your biometric in another country other than your current living country because i have to do a trip after application. will that affect my visitor visa decision?
I think you can only do it in your country of residence
Thank you for sharing
Best video ever
Hi Nobue, thank you so much for sharing. Please what if your sponsor is different from who is inviting you? Whose bank statements and payslip will be use?
Hi Fay, I'm not sure. Definitely the one who is sponsoring you, not sure if you also need the ones for the person inviting you
