my father passed away last week. My sister lives in Taiwan ( student visa, Zimbabwe passport) and would like to apply for visitor visa to attend his memorial service which will be held in the uk on 23/02/19.
we will both be travelling to Zimbabwe next week for burial ceremonies, but will be back on 10/02/19 so that leaves 2 weeks to make application for UK visa ( she cannot apply now as she needs her passport to go to Zimbabwe).
she only wants to come from 22-25 Feb.
Does anyone know where i can find information or has made a visitor visa application to attend funeral in UK?
what documents would you need? This is what i have so far
- death certificate
confirmation of memorial service details
letter from me confirmation she can stay with me (i am a british citizen)
booked return flight
copy of my passport
her taiwan residence status + passports
her translated bank statements showing she can support herself
letter from employer confirming employment and granting leave of absence (she works part time, although she will be coming just for weekend so only needs 2 days of including travel days)
evidence of her academic course ( she is a phd student)]
thanks
