Uk Visa For Thai Boyfriend Under 20

[meltnp]

Hi everybody, I was wondering if you could help me?

I am in the process of applying for a visa for my boyfriend; we would like to go to England at the beginning of august for approx 4 months as I am having a baby. We are getting all the paperwork together and I just need a bit of advice. My boyfriend is 19 and will not turn 20 till after we need to leave for the U.K. will I need a further letter from his Mother and/ or Father allowing him to travel?

Also, my sister is acting as sponsor for accommodation and some money towards food although she does not have a great disposable income. My mother is over 65 and has no money spare of her own but I have some savings in her account (approx 1400 gbp.) I kept it in her account to stop me from spending it so that it would still be there for such an occasion as this. We can get a print out of the bank statement but it is in her name, but this is some of the money we will use for other living expenses such as food and travel costs/ days out etc. His family will also provide him with some money for the trip which will be paid into his bank account and he has a small amount already saved himself. I’m just not sure how much he should ask his family to provide. My boyfriend is also a share holder in a business although since he is not 20 until November all the paperwork is still in his mother’s name until he reaches this age, whence it will be signed over to him. I have the business agreements signed by his mother and business partners. all this he is set to inherit and he has plenty to come back to Thailand for and in fact if it were not for me being pregnant then he would not be companying me to the UK this year. I am anxious to get all the correct and necessary paperwork together and if anyone has any further advice I would greatly appreciate it.

cheers mel tnp

As he is over 18, he does not need parental consent for a visit.

Bear in mind, though, that he will not qualify for settlement as either your fiance or spouse until you are both 21.

Your sister can offer accomodation, but you should explain why you are unable to do so.

Provide your mother's bank statements, and explain that it is your money and why it is in her account.

Please can you post in normal font in future, your OP is very difficult to read.

Be sure you apply well in advance it is taking 4 to 6 weeks for visa applications now.
