Mother in law visitor visa application

Post by i2siss » Fri Jan 24, 2025 8:13 am

Hi all,

I am applying for a visitor visa for my mother-in-law to visit us (my wife, my son and myself) in the UK for 10 days. My father-in-law is full-time employed, and my mother-in-law is a housewife and has some savings. I am sponsoring her whole trip, from tickets to living and accommodation.

We live in a 2-bedroom flat and I am not sure whether I lean on a Hotel for accommodation or if our flat would be sufficient. I planning to put £3000 as an answer to the question “How much money will your sponsor will be paying towards your visit?”. In case a Hotel is required, is it necessary to book the Hotel or showing £3000 is enough?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers

So your apartment should be fine.. I planning to put £3000 as an answer to the question “How much money will your sponsor will be paying towards your visit?”That's fine. I hope you and your wife are in full time employment?. In case a Hotel is required, is it necessary Not really to book the Hotel or showing £3000 is enough? Nothing is ever clear cut. The ECO would have to make a decision based on the facts in front of him. The more funds and stability you can show, the better.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

No, my wife does not have a full-time job - I do. In case a Hotel is required, is it necessary Not really to book the Hotel or showing £3000 is enough? Nothing is ever clear cut.

Hi all,

I would be grateful if someone could advise on whether it is okay to mention in the application form that my mother-in-law will be staying during her visit at the same address where I am living. The risk I am trying to reduce is that I live in a 2-bedroom flat, which might be seen as insufficient for a couple with one child + a guest.

Your help is much appreciated.

Cheers

Not sure what else you want me to add? I've said that your apartment should be fine!
