Visitor visa information

Hi Guys

My parents are planning to visit me soon. I am not very familiar with new rules for visitor visa but I know people from this site will help me answer few questions

1. Do I need to send a sponsor letter so that they can submit it when they apply for visa in British High Commission in their country?

2. I heard earlier that I have to deposit £1000 per person which are refundable on their return to their home country

3. Do I need to send any accomodation related letter stating that I have appropriate accomodation for them ?

Please help me clearing above doubts so that I can start correct procedure

Many thanks

In the order of questions:
1. If you are the sponsor, then yes.
2. Not sure if things have recently changed, but you didn't need to submit any deposit earlier. Have heard that the sponsor would need to a declaration now, though look at the form as that would have it mentioned if applicable
3. If they are going to stay with you, then it would be good that a document stating this is provided.

Thanks for reply

I will get sponsor letter and accomodation proof prepared. Have also been asked for bank statement to ensure that I have enough fund to support their stay financially

you go aand visit them

Dear PremKumar

Thanks very much for your valuable and highly useful advise

But no thanks..

I just bought my first house in this country and would like them to visit me to see this new place. So shut your mouth and keep your advise with yourself.

Really took offence on your rubbish comment.
