Changing sponsors address after spouse visa approval and before first travel

Post by Rgb10183 » Fri Feb 12, 2021 7:15 pm

Hi,

Any ideas if is okay that the sponsors address is changed after you have received the spouse settlement visa (outside UK) but before travelling to the UK. Considering now Covid-19 has passanger locator forms in which you must put down the address you would be isolating (most likely sponsors address because we pledge in our application that my partner will stay with me here). Is this going to be an issue at the immigration border?

There are few links which suggest you can notify address change whilst in UK but nothing from outside apart from visa application who have little interest in this.

Regards

R

It's not mandatory to notify UKVI of a change of address. Just fill the passenger locator form and put the address of where you would be staying.
My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.

Hey thanks for your reply mate. That is reassuring just hope that they don’t cause a ruckus at the airport immigration. Has this guidance been published explicitly anywhere?

Cheers

Thanks, I hope I am. Spouse visa + Covid pandemic is a lethal combination which makes people go a bit crazy in their mind.
