Visa for older Parents

[epa123]

I cant find the link any more on the gov.uk website about parents visa. I wanted to call them for family visit visa for few months I'm working and have a big enough house etc, my parents doesn't work both 60+ I send them money every month, they own a house there though. The fact that I'm sending money to them cause issues ?

It will now be a Standard Visitor Visa. I'm assuming you're intending your parents visit and not settle?

The fact that you are sending money to them is evidence that you support them, but they will have to show ties to their home country which is incentive to return after the proposed visit.

Thank you, still not sure how we can show ties to their county, they have own a house there and some money on fixed deposit at local banks, will that be enough ?

I'm showing money for their expenses here, idea is to for them to come and see the county 1st if they like it then go home and apply for settlement visa from there. they qualify for that as they don't have any one to look after them. they dont get pension etc. trouble is they never been here, I don't want to apply for visa for 3k + lawyer fees and they decided to go home in few months saying it's cold or what ever.

you guys think it's better to apply for the settlement visa ?

Probably much more difficult than a visitor visa.

Suggest visit visa...property documents would help and evidence of you supporting them i.e sending money home. Do they have extended family back home if yes providing their support letter and contact details may show more ties (usually not provided).

Suggest you compile up a list of documents you intend to submitted and members will give more personal opinions .

Thanks Vinny and terriblescream I had a quick read of the document vinny posted , so visitors visa then I will get all the documents and post it before I apply, I wont go for a solicitor for this,

For settlement I will as it's will be 3k now but when I apple it will be 5k

Have you read Vinny's links thoroughly? Unless [b]both of your parents require daily care[/b] for basic tasks such as washing and dressing etc and you are either unable to afford to pay for the care in their home country, or it isn't available (even if paid for) then the settlement visa will be refused. Be aware that if a settlement visa application fails, it is unlikely they will be granted a visitor visa in the future.
This door for settlement of elderly dependants is virtually closed now.

Thanks Casa wow I didn't read the whole thing obviously. going to apply for visitor visa for now.

Sorry it wasn't better news.

hi mate

my fathers visa got refused few weeks ago and they said he did not show stronge ties to his country so i suggest you gather all your supporting documents before applying or he will be refused. These days they dont even give the right to appeal or administrative review.
Good Luck
