Child visitor visa from Switzerland

Post by bigben1982 » Sun Sep 22, 2024 7:50 pm

Dear forum experts,
Hope you all are ok.

My niece 17 years would like to visit me with her 20 year old brother. They live in Switzerland.
They haven't received their Swiss citizenship yet therefore they need visa to visit me here in UK.
I would like to ask you,

1. Does my niece need a child visit visa? If yes, could you please share the link for the application?

2. Can she come with her brothers visa without having a separate visitor visa?

The children are visa nationals for the UK?
Are they resident in Switzerland?
Each person needs to apply for a standard visitor visa - there are no child visas.
1. Yes - Link: https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor
2. No - see 1. Brother will need a visitor visa of course.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Thank you for the reply. Much appreciate your quick response.

They are my sister's kids. I am British. They are permanent residents of Switzerland but not Swiss citizens yet.

I was filling a standard visa application for my niece (under age).

You have said that you will be staying at these addresses in the UK. Are any of these a person's home address?

After answering Yes to the above question, the next page asks more info about, one of the questions is,asking the applicant,

Their relationship to you

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the answer "uncle" therefore, I am unable to move onto the next page.

Could you please advise me?
