If you do actually need a visitor's visa then you will need to demonstrate that you will be returning to Singapore afterwards. Usually a combination of family ties, property and employment evidence are needed to convince them. The best applications will come from people who own a house and have an employers' reference stating that you are permitted X weeks' leave and are expected to return afterwards.sing672 wrote:Hi, I am working in Singapore and want to apply for UK visitor visa, my intended stay is 5-6 months. My brother stays in UK and is sending a sponsorship letter for me.
Please advise whether should I show my status as "Working" or "housewife". Will choosing working help in getting long term visa or vice versa.
As an ECO the 'unpaid' component of your response makes it easier to refuse the application on the 'funds to accomodate and maintain' part of the rules..of course it also adds to the subjective 'will return home'..after all if your employer can do without you for 6 months why should the ECO believe your claimed socio economic ties. Further the op's other thread leads me to conclude that there will be difficulty in overcoming the subjectiveness factor...ECO's like certainty....I don't see it here.philgeorge999 wrote:Kayalami wrote:
13. A question for the OP - which employer would give you 5-6 months leave of absence?
Unpaid sabbaticals are quite common. My employer grants them.
