What Visa Type Should I select

Post by Thanu1008 » Tue May 05, 2015 12:13 pm

I am on Tier 1 General Visa since 4 years. I want to invite my Father and Mother to the UK for 6 Months. I do not have ILR yet, I am still on Tier 1 General Visa.

What Visa Type should I select on https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/account/Login. I am confused between the following 2 options

General Visitor (General - Single, Double and Multiple valid up to 6 months)
or
Family Visitor (Family - Single, Double and Multiple valid up to 6 months)

Thank you very much for the reply. Just curios, since my Mother and Father are my family members why can't I choose the other option.

As a number of visit visa categories have been combined into the new Standard Visit visa

https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa/overview

I am guessing that the application online still has sub sections.

Previously, family visit visas where for visitors of British Citizens or people in the UK who had ILR already.
