Yes, you can apply for a CoE-RoA again. Or you can go down the British passport route as well.William1Watson wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:45 amAs my son was born in India he has Indian passport. When he first travelled from India to UK he had "UK Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode" in his Indian passport because I was British Citizen when he was born. But as his first Indian passport expired recently we renewed his passport, hence his new passport doesn't have the "UK Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode". Infact his "UK Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode" has expired in Feb 2023. So can we apply for this again? If not, what's the alternative for him to travel to the UK along with me?
As Casa has already mentioned above, you will need one of the below,William1Watson wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:45 amI don't have any rental property or own property in the UK currently, nor do I have any earnings/job in the UK currently. So with this being - can I apply for my wife's and son's dependent UK Visa before me moving over to UK or should I first travel to the UK, get a job, rent a property to live and then apply for their Visas from India?
Q (a.1) - If I have some savings in my UK bank account and some in my Indian Bank account together summing up to £62,500/- for over 6 months then can I apply for my wife's dependent Visa and son's British passport or CoE-RoA without me moving to the UK first? Basically I am trying to see if there is a way to sort out my wife's and son's UK travel permission while I'm in India, if yes, then we all three can travel to the UK together.(a) At least £62500 in liquid funds, held in an accessible bank account for at least six months
Q. (b.1) - So say if I go to the UK alone first and I find a job that pays me £74,400/- salary per annum (i.e, £6,200 per month or £18,600 for 3 months) then do I still have to wait for 3 months, before I apply for my family Visas, to show £18,600/- earning or can I apply for the Visas straight after I join the job?(b) have earned at least £18600 per annum in a current job in your present residence AND have a confirmed job offer in the UK starting within three months paying at least £18600
Even if you got a job paying £200k, you would still need to evidence 6 months. I guess this is to show stability at the job. So it isn't all about the money, it's more about continued sustenance.William1Watson wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 4:24 amThank you very much for the detailed response. If you could kindly clarify couple of more queries that would be of great help.

Q (a.2) - If yes to Q (a.1), is it necessary for me to rent a property in the UK to live with my family before we apply for my wife's Visa and my son's British passport (or CoE-RoA)? Firstly, take your son out of the equation. You don't need any money, job or accommodation to apply for his CoE-RoA. So all this is about your spouse. If you have all that money that has been sitting around for 6 months or more, yes you can make an application. You would still need evidence of where you would reside when you enter the UK.
Q.

That will probably ring alarm bells of trying to circumvent immigration process.William1Watson wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 7:27 amOne more thought came to me - Can my wife apply for visitor or tourist Visa to UK? My son will get British Passport and I already have one. So if I and my son go to UK and my wife can join us slightly later on her visitor or tourist visa?
Technically, AmazonianX is right. However, there's nothing wrong with it. Many have been known to do this. Some spouse don't plan to move to the UK, but visit the UK periodically to spend time with their spouse. So it is allowed to apply for a visitors visa.William1Watson wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 7:27 amOne more thought came to me - Can my wife apply for visitor or tourist Visa to UK?

There is a very small number of people who are exempt from paying for the Immigration Health Surcharge, primarily (non-British citizen) people moving to the UK on a Health and Social Care visa and their dependents.William1Watson wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 10:19 pmI checked into the below website and it isn't very clear because it says "You might also need to pay the healthcare surcharge". Is it "might" or we "should"?

Do note that I'm a British Citizen and my wife is Indian citizen, I'm applying for my wife's visa to come and join me in the UK.
