UK schengen visa

[golfpunk]

Hi there

I have a friend who is Serbian(non-eu) she's like to come to the uk for a couple of weeks to visit. She is currently not studying or working, will this affect her visa application?, she has the funds to support herself for the two weeks she will be here for without my help.

Also if I put in my letter of invitation that it will be a two week stay, and she stays longer, will that cause trouble?, because the tourist visa gives her 6 months.

Any help much appreciated.

Wrong forum, but here are some answers to your query:

As long as your friend can show the necessary funds and prove that she will go back before the visa expires, she should get the necessary entry clearence.

It doesnt matter if you say 2 weeks in the letter and stay for 2 months as long as the visa is valid. She can stay legally till the visa expires.

Thanks for reply, sorry wrong section. How will she prove that she is going back?

through her links in the home country - i.e. continuing education/ employment (leave approval letter)/ family settled there and fixed assets like property etc in her name

Excellent thanks, her family are there and she has property in her name.

When applying for visa in Belgrade you should also send her a letter to say that she will stay with you etc.

She is only going to be here for one week, why do i need to send my financial details. Does she have to show money in her bank, even if she owns property in Serbia, because she doesn't have much.

Well ECO needs to be satisfied re availability of finances for her travel and stay in UK.

What supporting documents should I include with my application?

You should include all the documents you can to show that you qualify for entry to the UK as a visitor. If you do not, we may refuse your application.

As a guide, you should include:
- bank statements, payslips, or some other evidence to show that you can pay for the trip and that you have enough money to support yourself and any dependants without working or getting any help from public funds, and
- evidence that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit (for example, a letter from your employer).

If you are visiting family or friends you will need:
- a letter from your sponsor (the person you are visiting) explaining your relationship with them and the purpose of your visit, and
- a copy of the bio-data page (the page containing their photograph) of their UK passport or, if they are not a UK national, evidence of their immigration status in the United Kingdom.

If your sponsor will be supporting you during your visit, or paying for the cost of the visit, you will need:
- payslips, bank statements, or some other evidence to show that they have enough money to support you.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. With regard to the last one there, does that mean if she can prove she has enough money for stay(for ten days), then I do not need to send financial details?.

Well is it worth me sending bank statements when it will just show my salary going in at end of month and nothing much else?

[push]

She should have sufficient funds to cover her trip (its better to show funds well in excess of what would be required for the trip). An account (yours in this case) with not decent balance does not add anything to the application, in my opinion.

not really, in my opinion unless it has accumulated funds as well.

In addition, I think you should correct the subject of querry and your information. UK is not a member of Schengen Agreement Countries and does not issue a Schengen Visa (which allows you to travel in the member countries without any additional visa).

Hi there

I have a friend who is Serbian(non-eu) she's like to come to the uk for a couple of weeks to visit. She is currently not studying or working, will this affect her visa application?, she has the funds to support herself for the two weeks she will be here for without my help.

Also if I put in my letter of invitation that it will be a two week stay, and she stays longer, will that cause trouble?, because the tourist visa gives her 6 months.

Any help much appreciated.

Yep sorry about that, this visa process is a nightmare, especially for her in Serbia due to the obscene bureacracy with visa applications. Hopefully at the end of this year Serbians will not need a visa to travel to the uk anymore.

All because of Milosevic, because of him, America and the UK decided to punish the whole country with economic sanctions an dother crap, evil in my opinion.
