BIGJIMMY Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hello, what exactly is a 'family' visit visa, how long is it valid for? What are the chances of getting a 1 or 2 year visit visa after having only 1, 6 month visit for marriage visa? Thanks Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahout Angrit Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hello, what exactly is a 'family' visit visa, how long is it valid for? It's a visitors visa where the reason given for application is 'to visit family' and is available in the same validities as a visit visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 If you are talking about the UK, then I believe that a family visit visa is a visitor visa for visiting family with the right of appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGJIMMY Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks, what do you think of the chances of getting a 1 year family visit visa would be then, our previous visa was a 'visit for marriage' visa for 6 months, we were in the UK for 2 x 1 month at a time, got married in the UK, no visa rules were broken, that will expire this November, we wish to obtain another visa in February to cover the whole summer and Christmas?

BIGJIMMY Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Forgot to mention that of the 1 year period starting from May, we would again be in the UK for 3 seperate times no more than 6 weeks at a time, twice in the summer for weddings and then Christmas.

the scouser Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The best thing you can do is write a covering letter explaining that you will be visiting the UK for a number of weddings etc and that your wife would therefore like a two-year multi-entry visit visa to avoid the need of having to make many applications. Explain that you still work off-shore, that when not working you stay in Thailand and that the visits to the UK will only be of short duration. Scouse.

BIGJIMMY Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Thanks Scouse, in your experience what are the chances of us getting a 1 year or 2 year visit visa having only had a 6 month before? Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
