Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I may not have made some things clear: We are looking to move to the UK. I am British, my wife has a spouse visa, and my daughter (a baby) has a HK passport. I want to know, would be daughter be allowed to enter as a tourist first (we would then apply for UK passport af...

Hi,

My daughter is British but she was born in Hong Kong and holds a Hong Kong SAR passport.

Will she be allowed to enter the UK on her HK passport?

Thanks for advice

Thanks for the reply.

But is there any way she can go past immigration as if boarding a plane (to "leave" the UK), but not actually board the plane, and then just go through immigration again (to "enter the UK), to activate the visa?

Hi, My wife is a Hong Kong citizen and also has a valid UK spouse visa. However, her UK spouse visa isn't valid for activation until after a while. If she arrives in UK on her Hong Kong passport, can she activate her spouse visa from within the UK? For example, can she go past immigration at the air...

Thanks for your help.

Hi All, I am a British citizen and my wife is non-British, and she is pregnant. If she gives birth in the UK, I can apply for British citizenship for my child because I myself am British. If my wife is on a 6 month visitor visa, is there any way she can apply for leave to remain after giving birth h...

Hi All, Applying for my wife's spouse visa. With regards to "shared financial responsibilities" we have no accounts or bills in both of our names. However, I send most of my salary to my wife's account each month as a contribution towards rent (for which we have evidence), and she pays the rent from...

many thx

Hi All,

Applying for UK spouse visa requires TB test, the result of which lasts for 3 months. I want to ask, does the TB test result need to be valid AT THE TIME OF ENTRY TO UK, or only at the time of applying for visa?

Many thanks,

Hi All, Situation as follows: I am British citizen living in HK with my Mainland Chinese wife (who is soon to obtain a Hong Kong passport). She is pregnant. We are looking to move to UK. Could anyone advise as to how my wife can apply to come to UK, such that we can move to the UK as soon as possibl...

Hi All,

My wife and I are expecting a child soon.

Situation as follows:

British husband, Chinese wife, living in Hong Kong.

If the child is born in HK, will he/she be eligible for a British passport?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi There,

I'm a British national and my wife is currently working in Hong Kong. Am I allowed to apply to be her dependent in Hong Kong even though I'm currently not in HK?

Many thanks,

S

Thx so much for the update, Vinny.

All the best.

Thanks for your help.

Would not having paid off my student loan cause any complications for applying for my wife's spouse visa?

Cheers,

Hi,

My wife's current teaching contract in HK is until August 2021. Will she still be eligible to apply for a 2 year visa to the UK?

Thanks

Hi There If I have £62,500 savings in my account starting from March until September 2020, will my wife then be able to apply for a spouse visa from Hong Kong (is it recommended to have more money than this)? Also, do they usually take the full 12 weeks to process, or can they sometimes be quicker? ...

In order to apply for spouse visa, must my wife have proof of employment and residency from the country she's coming from? If so, what evidence would suffice?

Cheers!

Thanks for all your advice so far. I am now considering getting a multiple entry visa so that we can take a trip to EU after arriving in UK. Now, if my wife applies for 2-year multiple entry visa in April, will she still be allowed to apply for the spouse visa in January (while the 2-year visa is st...

Sorry! That thread may have been getting into too much detail and hence perhaps off topic so I decided to start a new one.

Hi There, My wife is a Mainland China citizen currently working in Hong Kong and I am a British man studying in UK. My wife currently has a UK visitor visa. She came to the UK for two weeks over between Dec 2019 and Jan 2020 and the visa expires in April 2020. I want to bring my wife to the UK as so...

This would not be made from within the UK, but from Hong Kong. My wife is currently in Hong Kong (and she is a Mainland China citizen) while I am in the UK. I want to bring her here as soon as possible for 6 months without her having to go back to Hong Kong in April, when her current visa is due to ...

My wife currently holds a visitor visa that lasts until April this year. Could this be extended immediately so that she could come to the UK very soon without having to return to HK in April?

Thanks.

Furthermore, since my wife is currently working in Hong Kong, would her current salary count towards the application? Or must it be a UK job?

If we are to use savings in support of a visa application, does it have to be in my (the husband's) account, or can they also be in my wife's account?

Thanks for reply. Furthermore, my current plan is as follows: My wife will first apply for a standard visitor visa in April 2020. My wife's current contract ends in 2021, so we have proof that she can return to Hong Kong, although we intend for her to break that contract when she moves to the UK. I ...
