Tourism visa for Grandmother (82)

Post by NathanGalarza » Sun Aug 05, 2018 4:17 pm

:roll: Hello forum please help me?
I'm due to apply for my grandmother's visa to the UK.
My Nun does not have any income and / or accounts to show onto her visa application however my partner and I will pay for her expenses for the time of her visit.
Q.
Would this be an issue for her visa to be rejected
Thanks
Nathan

The application is unlikely to succeed unless your Grandmother can submit strong evidence of social and economic ties to her home country. The Entry Clearance Officer will want to see that she is financially self-sufficient.

Does she have close family in her home country and own property?

If she is granted a visitor visa I strongly suggest that she takes out an insurance for medical cover as there is no free access to NHS treatment for visitors and any facilities used are invoiced at 150% of the costs. :idea:
