Dependent Visa (applying from India) - Rental Agreement?

[MagicMovies]

Hi,

My wife is going to be applying for a dependent visa from India (Chennai). I am currently on Tier 1 General with a validity until 13 May, 2014. Do we need to provide a copy of the rental agreement as part of the application?

I looked up both Dependent's Policy and ImmigrationBoards own sticky post but could not find any. All of my friends have submitted these and insist on submitting one if available.

Any advice on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You need to prove arranged accommodation for your dependents, If you visit WH Smith near you, you can find ready made agreement for 10 £ even I submitted this one.

I submitted a rent agreement too... it's good to submit it as the visa officer will be assured your spouse has somewhere to stay. They may want to ensure dependents will be adequately housed without the need for applying for council housing.

Dont worry about it, the UKBA case work would only look at the policy guideline. And in the police guidelines rent agreement is not listed as a mandate document.

As long as you have got your documents in order as per the guidelines, your dependent would get the visa easily.

P.S: I also submitted the documents (as mentioned in the policy guideline) without the rent agreement at the Chennai office and within 15 days I got the visa for wife.
