ie. reference number on the entry clearance or visa within the applicantâ€™s passport or travel document.

It has been asked before but no answer was given.

Can someone help here please, thanks a lot!

I confirmed it from the Home Office, it is the VAF no. on top right corner of your visa.

Thanks for that. But my wife came to the UK on a visitor visa many years ago and it doesn't have VAF no. on it. (she has since got her leave to remain extended with my HSMP).

So did she get a HSMP-Dependant Visa?

I applied for my leave to remain under HSMP with her as the dependent. She got her leave to remain extended to the same expiry date as my HSMP visa.

As I understand it has to be a dependent visa, right?

Yes, it should be clearly mentioned on her visa
"HSMP - Dependant"

That's not the case.

It has neither "HSMP" nor "Dependent".

It says Residence Permit just as my own visa does.
