Listing in-laws on UK visit visa application

[GroveHillWanderer]

My wife is filling in her application for a UK visit visa. This year they're asking for info about all family she has in the UK, including her in-laws. Altogether, with my four siblings, their spouses and my parents, it comes to ten people.

 

All of them are British citizens, but the form seems to be designed for non-Brits as it asks about their "permission to be in the UK."

 

Does anyone know if my wife really has to list all ten of her in-laws in the UK and supply all their passport numbers? (My parents, for instance, who are in their 90's, don't have current passports).

 

Did anyone else's Thai partner, when filling out the application, supply this info about all their British in-laws?

OK, false alarm - at least as far the passport numbers go. I just realized I had a script blocker running in my browser designed to prevent malicious websites running code. After I changed the script blocker to allow all scripts on the immigration website, it stopped asking for passport numbers for people who are British citizens.

 

However it does still say that it wants the names of all my wife's family members living in the UK including all in-laws, which is a new requirement as far as I'm aware.
