uk standard visitor visa query

[raththam]

My in-law visited uk in march 20 on uk standard visitor visa and left to sweden on june 03 on sweden visa..( they have both visa)

they have uk visitor visa up until sep 12th 2023..

they will go to india from sweden end of sep 2023.

how soon they can apply for uk standard visitor visa because they need to come to uk for another 6 months..
can they apply immediately as soon as the arrived or they need to wait any time period like three months or six months.. any cooling off period for standard visitor visa as such ?

[CR001]

Why do they need to come back so soon again and why for 6 months?

They cannot be spending more time in the UK than they do in their home country.

They cannot be spending more time in the UK than they do in their home country.

they need to take care of their son kids when they also move from sweden to uk in the month of sep..

that’s the reason they would like to re apply.. so should they need to be there six months in india at least before they re apply for visitor visa..

so in this case they were here in uk only for 3 months.. and left on june 3rd and would like to come back for another 6 months…

I hope you know childcare is considered employment (and shouldn't be done) by a visitor?

that’s the reason they would like to re apply.. so they need to be there six months in india at least before they re apply for visitor visa..

It's not necessarily going to help. The rule includes:

The applicant must satisfy the decision maker that they are a genuine visitor, which means the applicant:
[...]
(b) will not live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits, or make the UK their main home

So if ECO decides she's in the UK too often, even though she's applying as a visitor, it might be refused as well, especially since I assume it wasn't disclosed to ECO she planned to stay for 2 months in the UK initially.

Hi, what is the rule then for a standard visitor who would like to re apply for standard visitor visa( i get the point that child care and employment.. but their intention is not that to take care of child but visiting places as well with their son)

They can re-apply at any time. They don't have to wait for a cooling off period.

Please note that reapplying and travelling to the UK are 2 different issues.
