Passport Or A Copy

[andyandythai]

Hi,

I am preparing to send all the paperwork over to my wife in Thailand to apply for her UK Settlement Visa. I just need to know if a copy of my passport will be ok as I don't really want to send the original it as I will need it in the meantime.

If a copy is ok, would it need to be certified?

My passport is the same my wife showed them for previous Visitor Visa's that I was the sponsor for.

Thanks

Andy

You only need to provide a certified copy of your passport, I have always certified the copy myself.

I have to admit I did not certify my passport on any of my wifes applications over the years and it did not get questioned. I suspect they can check validity very easily at the Embassy but common sense says certify it anyway. There does not appear to be a problem doing it yourself.

As already stated you need to send a certified copy.

'Certified' just means copying your photo page plus any other page with visas/stamps relevant to your entering/exiting Thailand then just sign and date each page yourself.

It DOESN'T mean you have to get a solicitor or other professional person to sign/certify it.
