6 month Visitors visa financial requirement

Post by limey10 » Fri Oct 18, 2013 9:12 pm

Hi all.

Is there any financial requirement for a 6 month visitors visa?

They ask lots of financial questions about the visit, but is there a particular level of income or savings that they are looking for.

Also, can a 6 month visa be extended from within the UK?

Thanks in advance

Thanks z18runway

That's about the most positive answer i've had for a while :-)

Don't know if this question has been asked before, but is it possible to apply for 2 visas at the same time.

Potentially, the spouse visa is going to take up to 90 days to complete, so while i wait, my wife could be with me (and more specifically her son) while we wait.

I know the difficult part will be getting the passport back so that she can travel, But theoretically, could it be done?

Regards, Phil

if you are applying for spouse visa better not to apply for visit visa, if you want proceed with visit before you apply spouse visa, then you must show strong ties that they will go back once their visa finishes and not overstayed.
