Family Visitor VISA Signature in non-English

Post by ukmigrant2011 » Thu Apr 12, 2012 10:16 am

Hi , My Friend is planning to invite his Parents to UK on Familiy Visitor Visa.
In his Father's passport the signature is in the local language ( not in English).
When filling the VISA application, he will sign in the same way as his sign in the Passport. As I mentioned above the signature will be in different language. Will this be any problem ?

Can you give your veiws..

The form should be filled in English. The signature can be in any language.

Even some people, have signatures in languages that are either extinct or not even invented... :lol:

So it is OK to have signature in non english.
The question is... to be or not to be....

Surely you mean different script rather than language? A man called Pedro does not have to translate this to Peter when filling out an application form in English! To answer your question, if it's not in a latin script, it won't be a problem.

Hi Thanks for the updates.

The signature is in native Indian language ( like Hindi /Bengali etc) which may not be understandable by the Case Worker. However as I mailed the passport has the same signature.
