Reinviting my mother for the 4th time

[Doo]

Hello,
i know that i can invite my family members as visitors , my question is : can my mother apply for longer visa stay to avoid applying every time , like 2 years visa where she can visit me each 6 months or so ?

thanks for your feedback

She can apply for any visa she wants. The issue will be whether or not they will grant it.

Please tell us a little more about your status. What's your nationality? What are you doing in the UK? Working or...? This will help people to advise on what kind of visa your mother might be able to get.

Note that the maximum amount of time a person can stay in the UK on a normal tourist visa is 6 months (no matter whether the visa is valid for 1 year or 10 years).

i am EEA family member on a 5 years visa, am from Algeria , i've been told that if a family member visits you more than 2 times they can apply for a longer visa 1 year or + .

Unless your query relates to EEA family permit application, i am not sure that this is the appropriate forum.

I am therefore removing this topic. to General immigration Board

Not true.
