You are correct. The requirements you mentioned in your original post only apply for unmarried partner visa applications, NOT for spouse visa applications.

Portugal is a member of the European Union and Portuguese citizens can live and work in the UK for as long as they like. By definition he cannot be an illegal immigrant.

You asked for examples and I stated them. Use the ones that apply to your case. This is one of the (common) criteria where, in absence of adequate evidence, applications for visit visas get refused. regards I guess what I'm trying to get at is what influence will the following factors have in the g...

Well, the only thing she can show is that she is employed. If she had savings, investments, etc then she wouldn't need me to sponsor her trip in the first place.

Like what?

Hi guys I'm a dual British/South African citizen currently living in Cape Town, South Africa. I live with my girlfriend of 18 months who is a South African citizen and I guess you could call us unmarried partners. We are planning on visiting the UK in September of this year and I wanted to get some ...

No one likes a grasser.

From the research I've just done on Google, it seems that it should be OK to be in possession of another person's passport as long as you have a letter of authorisation from the owner of the passport, and of course as long as you don't attempt to fraudulently use the passport. To be safe I'll seal t...

Can anyone tell me the legality of transporting another person's passport? I'm currently in South Africa, and a South African friend of mine in London has asked me if I could bring to London his newly issued South African passport which is currently in South Africa too. He applied for it the last ti...

If you were born in the USA then you are automatically a US citizen regardless of whether you want to be or not.

Why do you need to get it notarised? If the criminal record check is original and stamped and signed by the authority that issued it then that should be fine. Notarisation is only usually necessary if you are making photocopies as it assures that a photocopy is the same as the original document.

Well, I would say that if the police do not have your legal name (the name in your passport) then you're off the hook. Simple as. Good thinking not giving your legal name.

@wanderer and thirdwave My dad is goan and has acquired portuguese nationality through that process.. As his son , i had to get all my documents in place and as of now my paperwork has been completed. i havent become a formal citizen of portugal yet (ID and passport are not in my possession) as of ...

Does the six-month idea arise because the UK visa has to be valid for more then six months in total ? (So you couldn't, for example, make use of a standard UK visitor visa for visa-free entry to Switzerland.) Christophe is correct here. The UK visa has to have a total validity of more than 6 months...

Firstly, if you are indeed a Portuguese citizen then that means you are no longer an Indian citizen. This in turn means that your Indian passport is no longer valid and cannot be used for travel. India does not allow dual citizenship and you would have lost your Indian citizenship the moment you be...

If you are a Portuguese citizen then you cannot legally apply for a Portuguese Schengen visa.

1) Report theft to Police and get a reference number

2) Go to your country's embassy and apply for a new passport

3) After receiving new passport apply at Home Office for a new visa to be placed in it.

I've noticed there is nowhere for you to declare past criminal records, so does this mean they don't care in the Schengen area and are only bothered if you show up on an alert in the Schengen Information System? So, by not volunteering the information, because it's not asked for on the application ...

hi all, I need ur help once again!!! I know a Ukranian man who needs an immigration advice immediately. His english language are not very good. He finds it difficult to explain his situation in English. Do anybody know any immigration advisor or solicitor who can speak Russian? Thanks, Not trying t...

I'm sorry, but you are both wrong. Nowhere on the application form for a Schengen visa does it ask about previous criminal records, nor is it a requirement to not have a criminal record in order to apply for a Schengen visa. Furthermore you are not currently required to mention any previous deportat...

I have no doubt that this poor barman is going to be used as a scapegoat by Goan police and wrongfully convicted for her death.

You need to tell us what your nationality is...

. Were your passports scanned at any point? If yes, there is an electronic record. There are also the flight records. Physical stamps are rapidly becoming anachronistic, so don't go by that without more information. In the future, if this concerns you, you can request that stamps be placed in your ...

They don't know. There are no regular exit controls at British airports.
