NON-EEA mother in law visiting UK

Hi all,

I am non-EEA national & my wife is an EEA national. I have 5 years Residence Permit. We both work FULL TIME. We would like to invite my mother to visit us and spend sometime with us. I am using VAF1 form to apply.

1. Can she apply as EEA FAMILY PERMIT option on VAF1 form or just FAMILY VISITOR?

2. Do we need to send her any documents to add to her application?If yes, which documents?? Do I need to show any finances details?

Please explain. Your help is much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.


Cheers

What nationality is your mother? She only needs a visa to enter the UK as a visitor if she is a so-called visa national. It is certainly not the case that all non-EEA citizens are visa nationals.

How long is it intended that your mother visits you? That is, how long will she be in the UK?

Hi John,

Thanks for the replly. My mother holds Indian nationality and she intends to stay for between 3 to 6 months.

What type of visa she can appply EEA family or family visit.?

Do I need to send any documents or financial documents?

Cheers

A visitor's visa is appropriate. In order to get that either the applicant needs to show they can afford to finance the trip themselves, or alternatively you need to undertake that you will do so, and indeed prove that you can afford to do so.
