Paul, I don't want to harp on about this. But please remember the Schengen Visa rules. For example your wife my well, do a one day visit to Calais on her French issused Schengen, but if she say visits a couple of other Schengen States and the following year applys for a Schengen visa with the Frenc...
Cheers Dawie. And when it does expire does she need to transfer the visa from one to the other or is ok to carry two passports around? It is perfectly fine to travel with your current leave to remain in an expired passport along with your new passport. No need to transfer the visa unless you want t...
guys im a bit confused haw many nationality is one allowed to have according to the british immigration or nationality law. secondly, is it wrong to be in possesion of more than 1 nationality passport when travelling as long as they are all righfilly urs Thanks for ur time guys The British governme...
I bet you the actual decision to grant the work permit takes no more than 5 minutes to make. Your application more than likely sits in someone's "Inbox" for 5 months until eventually they get so sick and tired of looking at it, they finally get round to processing it.
The days of loyalty to your country and all that crap are over. I have dual citizenship as well with British and South African citizenship, and I can honestly say the main overriding reason I acquired British citizenship is for the ease of travel that a British passport affords me. Plain and simple....
In practice this is almost impossible for the Home Office to police. Although I would always advise sticking to the letter of the law, the reality is that most people I know on 2 year working holiday visas work the full 2 years without any problems.
Who knows what information UK immigration holds about you. Returning to the UK you might very well encounter a switched-on immigration official who can see in their system that you are a British citizen AND you are travelling on an Indian passport. It wouldn't take much for them to come to the concl...
Dawie, I take your point re: the previous passport being void after the citizenship ceremony but I remember you saying (or it could be one of the other mods) somewhere that you'd actually travelled on you SA passport whilt waiting for your new passport to come through without any problems :wink: My...
Hello Steve567, i was wondering if your original passport was returned to you earlier and when was it returned to you. I am finally applying for a passport for my wife and we plan to trvale towards the end of March, so as long as she gets back her Indian passport that is fine. Will the Indian passp...
If the OP obtained a British passport, her husband would be able to obtain a UK spouse visa and after 2 years apply for ILR and immediately apply for British citizenship (because he would have been resident in the UK for 3 years by then). This will almost certainly be far easier and take a shorter a...
Cathy, you would be better off obtaining a British passport for yourself and letting your husband go through the British immigration system rather than the Irish one which is completely dysfunctional.
When hearing politicians talking about immigration reforms, one thing is immediately clear...they do not understand the rules of the current system they are trying to reform. Likewise the press and media do not understand simple concepts like the difference between citizenship and a passport, often ...
For ILR or work permit FLR applications the purpose of bank statements are to show the Home Office that you have a regular income coming into your bank account. The absolute amount is not important, it's the transactions that the Home Office is looking for. When I applied for ILR 2 years ago I suppl...
Up until 2004, UK residents with leave to remain for longer than 6 months did not have their passports stamped when leaving and reentering the UK. The only stamp they got was the first one when they first entered the UK.
Which country do you both currently reside? Is he working? Has he ever had a Schengen visa before? Have you tried seeing what the requirements are from other Schengen embassies? It's irrelevant what the requirements are at other Schengen embassies. If they are going to Spain, they have to get their...
I can't speculate why he wasn't granted the visa, but the Spanish embassy does warn people not to book tickets or accommodation before being granted the visa in case the visa is declined.
Sorry Victoria didn't mean to accuse you of being a solicitor! :oops: What I mean is the following: Many contractors choose to operate through a limited company. As such, they become directors of their own limited companies, invoice their clients and obtain payment through their limited companies. T...
