Married couple filling in visit visa forms.

Post by ditsysarah » Wed Dec 02, 2015 1:03 pm

Both my husband and I have decided to visit our son in London for a few weeks in the summer. I'm in full time employment as a teacher while my husband has just retired but still receives monthly income from his shares and investments.

When filling out the Income and expenditure section on the visa form, do we divide the costs and savings between us on each form? or do we write the same figures?

For example in the following questions:

- How much do you spend each month on living costs?
- What is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP(£)?
- The total amount of money you have for this trip
- The cost of the aeroplane, boat or train tickets

Apologies if this has been answered before but i've unsuccessfully searched for the last few days.

When do you plan on submitting your application? It is too early to submit now for a summer holiday in June-August.

:oops: No i know it's early but i'm a bit OCD about these things and like to have everything sorted and ready before applying such as bank statements, letters from son, employers etc.

We cannot guess for you what the figures should be. You need to write truthful answers. There is no 'standard template amount' that you can put in.

You can add additional information or a covering letter explaining the joint costs etc if you put the same 'overall' figures in.

Thank you for your reply.

I didn't mean what actual amount to put it as I have all real figures from bills and bank statements. As i explained in my first post I was confused over whether to put in for example the same 'living costs' in both mine and my husbands application such as putting £400 in both or whether as they are two separate forms writing £200.

But I'll do what you suggested and write the same figure and explain in a cover letter that its a joint figure.

Thank you again
