But enough money to travel to Brazil?deansp2001 wrote:Hi
I am marrying my girlfriend in Brazil soon and she will need to apply for a VISA in Rio. (she is brazilian). But im in a fair amount of debt and might declare myself bankrupt soon - would this effect her application?
Thanks
I guess it would be an eyebrow raiser if it is revealed during the application process but as people have applied with negative balances in their bank accounts, declaring bankruptcy would just be an extreme version of this kind circumstancedeansp2001 wrote:Hi

I meet all the requiments as a sponser as far as I can see - have accomadation, over 18, have job etc etc. But im in a fair amount of debt and might declare myself bankrupt soon - would this effect her application?
Thanks

Hi Dean,
They do not check your credit history at all. You don't need to have money saved in order to apply. The most important would be to show that you have regular income.

So your husband is working? Earning roughly how much?
John wrote:3crown, are you also working? Just thinking that if you are not working, and your husband currently earning not-a-lot, don't forget that the two of you jointly should claim Tax Credits,
John wrote:3crown, a few points. Firstly, are there any children in the household? If the answer is "yes" then certain claim Tax Credits, unless the family income is nicely over £50Kper year.
If no children, based upon what you say, " I have a reasonable salary", there is probably no entitlement to claim Tax Credits. Entitlement to Working Tax Credit runs out below £20K per year.
Secondly, if it is worth claiming, assuming you are a British Citizen, or otherwise settled in the UK, Tax Credits must be claimed jointly by a couple living together. It is totally OK for your husband to be such a joint claimant, because of some "small print" in the Tax Credits legislation, namely, reg 3(2) Tax Credits (Immigration) Regulations 2003, as reinforced by rule 6B of the Immigration Rules.
Thirdly, if you have not already done so, do take advice before thinking of declaring yourself bankrupt. You have a mortgage? They are threatening repossession? Do negotiate with them if you can. Especially against a background of falling property prices, they might well be amenable to accepting reduced payments for a while.
