Returning t UK after long stay abroad

Post by expat123 » Wed Jul 01, 2015 9:10 pm

Goo day,
I am seeking advice on as i am confused , whether to apply for a new visa for my wife or she is ok to travel on her existing spouse visa (expiry 29th June 2016) after 8 months stay abroad. we moved to middle east 8 months ago for when i get an exciting job offer but know we will return to UK. we do own a house in UK.
If she is ok to travel on existing visa what sort of question we can expect at immigration and do we need to require any documents. One last can she travel back alone before me or she must have to accompany me.

will appreciate your advise on this matter.

How can anyone offer advice when you've not given the full immigration history and status of you and your spouse?

Absence for employment reasons ought to be ok, you should provide evidence of a subsisting relationship whilst you have been abroad.
