I don’t have French specific knowledge but I e been legalizing a lot of papers within/outside EU. Only the country that issued the paper can legalize the paper for you. NZ is a part of The Hague Convention which established apostile rules, so you’ll need to find a way to get the apostile from NZ IF ...

There are a couple of things to consider re long term multi entry Schengen visas: 1. You need to build up your Schengen visa history. First timers normally get visas for the duration of the trip or - best case - 6 months visas. You can then get 1 year/multiple years. 2. It really helps to apply to o...

Bring the passport to TLS if that is possible How can I do that? I know how to ship - but do I need to include prepaid label for the return? (Honestly, I am not sure from which country they would be returning the passport) In TLS center, they explained that they will send a DHL label and not to use...

He can come to the UK without job as this is not required for dependent visa. If he works for a multinational, he will most likely be explained that the main problem in the way he plans to structure his work can be taxation. He will have the right to work in the UK, so he will not be breaking immigr...

I suspect it’s not a very straightforward case. You would probably need to adopt/ establish other form of parental responsibility. Kids mother will need to give up her parental rights officially, not just say that she wouldn’t mind.

I applied for a permanent residence card for EEA nationals in 2017… Having had PR for more than a year, could you not apply for British Citizenship? (not cheap, but less than an LR ILR application). Or do you not want to have 3 nationalities? Generally Dutch government does not allow to gain anothe...

One other thing worth considering, unlike COVID restrictions, situation in Belorussia might last longer. I hence it is possible that there will be no direct flights for years to come.

Thanks yes the person in question is in her mid sixties. The link above does seem specific to COVID, so was wondering if there is an exceptional assurance equivalent for non COVID.. Is there a helpline to discuss things like this or do we need to involve lawyers? Helpline is outsourced to external ...

I received Email from Home Office today that my card has been updated....it works fine after the update.took 3 weeks after request Thanks.

Though it now looks like the travel restrictions are going to be lifted, due to issues with the country in question (Belarus) all flights from the uk have now been halted. If you’re in the UK In your email you should attach evidence to show why you cannot leave the UK. For example, if you can’t lea...

Thanks, they are here on a 180 day per year 10 year visa. When you say it could affect future applications, could it affect the existing 10 year visa? Ie could it be revoked? (Travelling via Russia makes this trip a lot more difficult for an elderly person travelling on their own) I hear you re dif...

Thanks for replying, we are aware it may cause concern at the border but we do have proof of a return ticket to Canada and also a job offer for once she has had the baby. I have also read on the GOV website that you can spend more than 180 days in 365 you just have to show you're not LIVING in the ...

As a side note, make sure she has private insurance as she is not covered by NHS unless it is an emergency. Pregnancy can be rather unpredictable. Will health insuarnce while visiting the UK, cover NHS maternity care costs? I don't think that it'll cover regular appointments, but depending on the i...

It is unlikely that this kind of extension will be granted. Don't risk further visa applications as this can be taken against you later on. Which length of stay did you state in her/his visa application? There are 3 flights per week from London to Moscow and 10 flights to Minsk now (starting from 2n...

As a general rule, a visitor shall not be residing in the UK i.e. spend more time in the UK than in their own country. As a non-visa national, she can get away with this on her return to the UK, but equally she might be stopped and denied entry. Clock is not really "reset" that easy i.e. she shall n...

Hi, My wife arrived in UK on 23 September 2019 on a spouse visa. Regarding her American driving licence, can she drive temporarily for a year or so on her American driving license or does she need a UK provisional to drive with me accompanying her? Thanks If your wife arrived in 2019, her US drivin...

Exceptional assurance is to be used when returning to the country of origin is impossible due to COVID. It looks like there are plenty of flights (direct and indirect) still flying to Egypt.

You can apply to extend her visit though https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-vis ... -your-stay.

Hello guys, Once the new replaced card is received, do we have to update it with digital status? Thanks I think around 10 days: I applied around 5th of March and I got confirmation email on 15th. I’ve been checking in the meantime around 8th - status was still linked to old card Yes, if your online...

Hi, Does anyone knows if I go for an appeal and lost, will my brother, sister-in-law and nephews be barred from apply for any UK family, student or other type of family visa for good? Thanks. No, not barred. They can still apply but student visas will be scrutinised based on the previous intentions...

Hi Everyone, Can I apply for settled status now as I have been living in the UK continuously for over 5years ( I moved to the Uk in Feb 2015 on a tier 4 student Visa) but I only applied and received my pre-settled status in Jan 2020 through my EU Spouse. The reason for my question is because I am a...
