Uk Family Visa For Wife And Visitors Visa For Mum In Law

[beano2274]

Just a quickie, wife will apply for a family visitors visa and MIL will apply for a tourist visa, question is what date does the Embassy put on the Visa if granted, is it the date of application or the date of intended travel (which obviously could change)?

tks in advance

The visa is dated from the date of issue, and is valid for use from that date.

You can apply three months ahead of your proposed travel date and request that the visa is post dated for up to three months.

Wife went on 7th April to hand in all the required documentation.

Received email today to collect both passports (hers and mother in laws), less than a week turnaround.

Both Visas granted, no agents used just followed the instructions and the lists of documentation required.
