Re: UK visit visa from Belgium

Thank you for the clarification. That's what I thought. Also, is there any requirement for minimal visa left (belgian) when they apply for UK visa from Belgium? For instance, you need to have your passport valid for at least 3 or 6 months at the time of applying!

Re: Sponsoring 2 parties at the same time for visit visa

As far as you can provide evidence for sponsoring, you should be ok. With regards to your Aunt's previous rejection, you need to go through the reasons for previous rejections, without that info, we can only guess.

Re: Family Visitor Visa Refused. Administrative Review?

How long did they state they were coming to the UK to visit? 5 Months, not exceeding 6 months. If you browse the forum for similar applications, this plays a crucial role for a visitor visa. A 5-month stay is generally considered a bit too long for a "visit". they give you a 6-month multiple entry ...

Hi Vignesh, thanks for the reply, I just thought the ECO might find it a bit presumptuous that your taking out insurance before they've actually given you the visa.
