1) No as their current visa would still be validdecentguy_uk wrote:Hey All
Happy Diwali and New Year to all our Indian friends on the forum. I have a quick question
Information
I am an ILR holder. My parents' s 6 monthtourist visa expires in Feb 2010 and are currently in UK and flying back in November 2009
Question
1. Can they apply for new tourist visa in January 2010 (even though if their existing one expires only in Feb 2010)
2. If they are here in UK Jan 2010, can they apply for an extension on tourist visa from UK itself ?
Any info is helpful
Thanks
Surely that depends how much of the existing 6 months visa they spent in the UK, and how much out of the new 6 months visa they intend to stay in the UK (assuming the ECO believe them)?meats wrote:2) No. You are only allowed to be in UK as a tourist 6 months out of 12. I don't think they'll be able to apply for another visa visitor's visa until August 2010.
I'm not too sure how it works with regards to time in and out. Assuming that they spent 3 months of the 6 in the UK then would the next visa only be issued for 3 months because otherwise they could spend 9 months out of 12 in the UK? Or, what i think, will they have to wait 6 months before applying again. Either way, they can't apply for an extension in the UK.djb123 wrote:Surely that depends how much of the existing 6 months visa they spent in the UK, and how much out of the new 6 months visa they intend to stay in the UK (assuming the ECO believe them)?meats wrote:2) No. You are only allowed to be in UK as a tourist 6 months out of 12.

That logic doesn't work when you can get 1, 2, 5, or even 10 year tourist visas...meats wrote:I'm not too sure how it works with regards to time in and out.
