7by7 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The requirements and criteria for a UK visa are the same worldwide. but processing times can vary considerably from post to post and at different times of the year. The biggest factor being the volume of applications. I do not wish to put you off from posting in this forum, or any other forum on Thai Visa, as your experiences may be helpful to others and you may find information useful to you. Though not in this topic; to be frank, the processing time for an application in Singapore has no bearing on the average processing time in Bangkok and vice versa.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Congrats to Sanky and all others who have got their visa. As said, the prime factor in processing times is the volume of applications received. Singapore is obviously quieter than Bangkok at the moment. Apply in Bangkok at a quiet time and similar processing times can be, and have been, achieved. The problem is judging when is a quiet time! Patience to those still waiting; your turn will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadafi Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) For anyone who has submitted a settlement visa lately, my wife showed her documents today and a member of staff checking them stopped her from submitting her application because she didn't have an english certificate. She has passed the life in the uk test, you dont need both? Edit: Kadafi has started a new topic on this here. If you wish to respond to this post, please do so in that topic.

ralphsilver Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 05/7/2012 Two child VAF4A settlement visa applications submitted this morning, my wife tells me that the VFS staff were great, no problem accepting the childrens applications together, and they put both applications in the embassy bag. She now thinks i was paranoid about warnings i gave her about the VFS staff. We submitted all required documents, and many more, to support their applications. All originals, and copies were translated, and certified. Now the wait, thank's to all here who helped with my questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Good day to all, I am aware of the topic and country. However, can anyone grant me some info on Jamaica UK settlement visa processing time and also if I submit a business plan with the supporting docs if that could help? I'm afraid that it is unlikely that anyone here knows about current waiting times in Jamaica. The guide to processing times says that 96% of settlement applications in Kingston were decided within 60 days and 100% within 90 days. But those figures are for decisions made in April! Why would you need a business plan? Do you have no other income or means of financial support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Actually, I am the applicant.. Doesn't matter whether you are the applicant or sponsor. In your application you will need to show that the financial requirements are met; either from your funds, your sponsor's or a combination of both. This is a topic on waiting times. If you have any questions specific to your application or need further advice on how to prepare it and the evidence required, may I ask you to start a new topic please. Members here will be pleased to offer their advice, even though you are not applying in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
