Family Visit Visa for Parents in Pakistan

[sana85]

I have British citizenship, I would like to sponsor my mother and father for a UK visit. I have been browsing Home Office website (Visit Visa sections) and trying to understand the documents that are required.
Unfortunately it doesn't have the comprehensive list of required documents.

I would appreciate if someone here could elaborate on the list of required documents or perhaps share the list they provided to the Home office for their Family Visit Visa.

Thank you for providing the web link. I have browsed the link, this only lists documents for regular Visit Visa but I am specifically looking for Family Visit Visa. If I am sponsoring them what documents as a sponsor I need to provide and what documents applicants (my parents) need to provide?

HI
Your parents need to prove that they have very strong social and economic ties in Pakistan. So they will leave the UK after the short visit.
Your parents documents are more important and carries more weight for visit visa decision making than your's.
Most important thing DO NOT deposit big amount of money in your father or mother bank accounts before applying visa. It will make your application very weak as Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) thinks that u put that money in their bank accounts just to obtain visa and undermine the credibility of visit visa application.

Thank you for replying. My parents have a House registered in their name but they do not have an employment (they are old and retired with no pension). They have approx £5k savings. Would you be able to shed some light on the documents that we can submit to prove strong social & economic ties?

Ok. Do u have any siblings back home? If yes what are they doing? If your parents have no job, business or mean of living than its very hard for them to get the visa.
How your parents bearing all the living expenses? Who is supporting them?

For their UK visit I'll be sponsoring them. I am in full time employment and have personal savings of £20k.
My parents are living on the rental income. But this is collected and spent as Cash there are no bank deposits or tax documents.

Hi do you have any update on this? I have a relative in very similar circumstances and they are considering making an application just to visit.
