Settlement Visa Quetions

[currymonster]

Hi All.

Have a couple of questions:

I wish to submit a letter from my mother to support her offer to help us with accomadation in a forthcoming UK settlement visa application. My mum and I do not share the same surname, should we seek to get the letter verified by our local GP or in some other way provide proof that she is my mum?

Can anyone recommend a fast, safe way to get supporting documents to Phuket from England?

Thanks in advance.

Mark.

The embassy should accept at face value your assertion that your mother is who you say she is.

I routinely send documents to Thailand by Royal Mail "International Signed For" and, touch wood, have never had a package go missing. The average delivery time is 5-7 days depending upon whether the address in Thailand is in an urban or rural location. Alternatively, you can use a courier: these tend to be quicker but more expensive. Sending a package through DHL, for example, and if booked on-line through their "DHL It Now" facility, is approximately £43.00 for a weight of up to 500 gms.

Thanks Scouse,

Looks like royal mail is the way to go.

If I were you I would obtain copies of your mother's birth certificate and marraige certificate(s) as well as a copy of your own birth certificate, you can order them over the phone/online and pay with your credit card.

It may be overkill but they are quite cheap and for the sake of a few quid why risk a delay?
