Hello TV members. I have in the past completed 2 tourist visas for my wife. Both went well and we got the visas, my question is this. I am starting a new visa application for a family visit to the U.K.. Do i have to do separate forms for children and wife or is it all on the one application? Thank you for reading. have a good evening.

Two forms but can be submitted at the same time with one lot of supporting documents. Just make sure it is clearly recorded in the covering letter that the applications are linked.

Hi bob and ramie. I will be doing this soon too. I have that wife and her 2 children. Does that mean 3 online forms to fill in? Also, where it says who are you traveling with, do you put the other 2 people on each form each time? Do the children have to go to Bangkok also to hand documents over?

I am in the process of applying for a tourist visa for my wife and our niece. We had to fill in the form for each applicant and stated that supporting documents be used for both applicants.

Both applicants had to attend the appointment so as to provide the biometrics. Also take a photocopy of each persons passport info page as this is stamped as your reciept to pick the passports up if you dont use the postal service

Hi Willie wolf. Thanks for that. Does that mean I do my wife's application online and then start another application for each child? And are the supporting documents really just the same as previous applications I have done for the wife? Also, I take it you only book one appointment for all three visas. Or is it best to book 3 appointments. I wish I could just phone them from the UK and ask all this.

What i did was create an account and fill in the application for the wife then using the same account clicked on apply for someone else and fill that form in It is basically the same questions. The annoying part is in each form you have to state who is travelling with you.

Regarding the supporting documents, the home office website states you can use the same ones for under 18 as those that the adult is using, where applipical. When we actually submitted the forms at the trendy building they wrote on my wifes application that she had only submitted one set and got her to sign a statement sayi g this was correct.

We did book two appointments to be on the safe side but they dealt with them together,although they did put each application in seperate wallets.

When you read all the info they have supposedly made things simpler, but I was not convinced!!

I have done another post about the phone call my wife recieved today, have a read and see what you make of it.

Good luck

Thanks ww. Great help. I will check your post out. You'd have thought after getting visas for my wife and getting our son to the UK etc that I would be good at this now. Guess not.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Most of the documentation is going to be the same for both applications. Clearly where additional information is required for one or other applicant, this needs to be included. The forms look daunting but generally are not as bad as they look. Just a case of plodding through them!

Keep copies of everything so it makes future applications more straight forward. Keep copies of travel dates etc so you are prepared for the next application!!
