UK Visitor Visa - Financial Dependents

[RandolphGB]

There's a section on the Uk visitor visa for applicants to give details of financial dependents. 

 

My Thai gf lives with her younger sister. She pays all the the rent on the room (4,000THB) and her sister pays the utilities bills about 1,800 (electricity and water).

 

Would her younger sister be classed as a financial dependent? Would it benefit the application if it's included or left out?

 

Thanks

I don't think that the information adds any value to the application and the sister could move out next week.

 

 

Leave her off as your GF pays nothing directly in support of her sister.

It really refers to the applicants own children or elderly parents that she's supporting.

 

When your girlfriend describes her living arrangements in her covering letter, I would be inclined to outline it there, it provides some evidence of stability in the home environment.
