Hi,

I am inviting my mother, sister and brother to visit me for a month. Do I need to provide an original supporting documents for each applicant. Like pay slips, bank statements, sponsorship letter. ?

Many Thanks

That entirely depends on their circumstances.

If they are financially independent, you don't need to provide any evidence of your own ability to support their stay in the UK. If they need to rely on your benevolence to support their trip (because they have none of their own or have insufficient), then you do need to provide evidence of your bank accounts.

If they will be staying in your house, you can provide evidence of its suitability to accommodate all of those extra people without contravening the housing laws.

Thanks. But this is not my query. Do I need to provide an original document for each applicant because I have only 1 set available and they are 3.

First it was necessary to establish if you need to provide any document, and that is where this discussion has led us. The other aspect of your question can be answered with no.

A one bedroom flat will not be adequate accommodation for the quantity of people you have mentioned in your first post.

perhaps a neighbour, family or friend with a spare bedroom would "put them up"?..

my wifes mother stayed with us, but was "housed" by my brother on her visit (for visa purposes).

When she came for visit for our marriage my brother in law sponsored her trip with father in law and "he paid for hotel rooms" (but mother n father stayed with us)
(BIL is high paid programmer etc). on second visit he "sponsored" MIL's visit, by way of cash, and a credit card should the need arise...
