Re: Best recourse to family's immigration in an extremely difficult situation (domestic abuse & insane NHS bills)?

I understand that there is a mix of personal, financial and immigration-related matters in the background narrative, but it was important to provide the background. Sticking to immigration-related questions for now: 1) Should the mother apply for a student dependent visa for the child? 2) Though th...

Re: Schengen and country-specific visa - how exactly does this work?

So essentially from that point on, border guards can no longer do a simple check on your stamps, to determine how many days of you Schengen allocation has been used. If they did, they would reach the incorrect conclusion. Instead, you'd have to point to the long stay visa, and ensure that they beli...

Re: Schengen and country-specific visa - how exactly does this work?

1) how is that problem prevented - I definitely wouldn't want to risk any Schengen problems in future After arriving in Spain with a digital nomad visa in your passport, I assume you would then, like with other long stay visas, apply for your TIE in Spain. When crossing borders, show this together ...

Re: Transit Visa to Netherlands, Germany and France

That is so sad. The reasons for exiting EU were not what we are seeing today. Instead, the prices of resident permit for the so-called "Commonwealth'' countries tripled. The same EU citizens that caused them to exit are still benefiting. Before Brexit, resident permit was 601pds. immediately after ...

Re: Marrying on a visitor's visa

It's very interesting that breaking visa rules is not unlawful. Does it appear that a registrar would allow them to marry without marriage visa if they told them that the woman would not return to UK. Their plan is now ,she returns to Botswana to apply for spouse visa (I think) They have not had an...

Not everyone has bank statements so how they get their visas?
Most likely they don´t get a visa. Immigration/visa rules do not generally make accommodations for what´s customary locally.

Re: Overstayed visa before now applying as student dependent

But what is the best solution for this situation. There is no guaranteed outcome. Your options: 1. Apply and hope that your change in personal circumstances is enough to convince HO that you will now honour the immigration rules. Risk of refusal is high. 2. Don´t accompany your wife. 3.
