Tourist/Visitor visa for a South American

Post by protocolboy » Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:38 pm

Hi All

Hopefully someone can advise me

Next week, my friend is visiting from Paraguay. Apparently Paraguay is not a country where you can apply for a tourist visa before getting to the UK

He plans to visit me for 3 weeks. He is a student, 24 years old, first time traveller with a new passport. He has a return ticket, he will have a letter from me to say i will accomodate and support him, he will bring a letter from his university to show he is enrolled as a student (ie he must return to finish his course) and he has around £550 / $900USD in cash (he cannot bring bank statements because he cannot get an account as a student who doesnt have a job and therefore he also wont have a credit card)

Should all this be enough for immigration to believe his is not wanting to stay illegally and issue him the tourist visa?

Should he provide any more information with him?

Thanks

He would appear to qualify under the rules for a visit. Make sure you are available to answer any questions the IO may have.

What documents do I need to enter the United Kingdom as a general visitor?

Hi paraguay is a country that does not need a visa to enter the UK, you will be given a stamp for 3 months on entry, They might ask afew Q, but thats all, calm down.
