Badmaash, how many times do you travel back and forth to Malaysia?

Don't Singapore or Malaysian immigration officers question it?

How many days stay do you get for Malaysia? is it still 90 days?

you see the singapore visa is for a month so i leave on the 30th day go to johor or even kl sometimes then cross back

yes the visa to malaysia is 90days so if i wanted to i could chill there if i like
but i rarely do

and to be honest they do ask i just show them my marriage cert , but they have told me to get a spouse visa ,

but as i dont intend to saty why spend the money you get my point but i could chill in malaysia where its much cheap

i prefer singapore though in terms of eating out

Evidence of your finances. Bank statements,building society savings book(s),pay slips or other formal documents
as evidence of your and your partner’s ability to maintain and accommodate yourselves and any dependants without
recourse to public funds. If a relative or friend is supporting you, please provide a letter from him/her confirming this
together with bank statements or other documents of the kind described above as evidence of their financial situation.
See Note 5.


i cut and pasted this of the BIA website (it says you and you partner ability to maintain and accomodate yourselves and any dependents without recorse to public funds)

but as we know there is no harm in the uk national of the spouse visa and his child if they have one who is clear of immigration control to claim benefits as they are entitled
(as i thought it was only the applicant holding the spouse visa who is not allowed can anyone expalin further

also some did mention that it is no longer allowed for assitance (financial) from family memeber but it says in the form pls provide info if you are assited by a reletive with their bank statements

can anyone explain further pls

What is there to explain. You have to use some common sense
You are being accommodated by your parents so they have to show proof that they are the owners and a letter that they are accommodating you.
You have to show you can support yourself so you are not supposed to point to your parents for finances. Finances is not accommodation.
However under your circumstances if you want to make a big deal about your disability, then I guess you can claim exceptional circumstance by showing your parents finances. There is the rule and then there is the practical aspect of applying the rule please act accordingly

no you didnt understand my point syh

( i am obviously gonna show im living with my parents and will send their house deeds and a letter how i did last time when i applied for spouse visa)

my point was that it says that you are able to support yourselves without need for public funds

so look how many people whilst there spouse is on a spouse visa claim child benefit ?

this is public funds so now what

so if i was to claim for me and my child only as we both are biritshc citizens and my wife is not so i obviously wont claim for her

then apply for ilr
with me and my child on benefit with some savings

Public funds
These pages explain what the Immigration Rules say about eligibility for public funds for anyone with limited leave to enter or remain in the UK.

If this page does not answer your questions, you can download a leafletthat gives more details. Alternatively, please telephone or write to us for further information.


What are public funds?

Public funds' include a range of income-related benefits, together with housing and homelessness support. The full list is as follows:

income-based jobseeker's allowance
income support
child tax credit
working tax credit
a social fund payment
child benefit
housing benefit
council tax benefit
state pension credit
attendance allowance severe disablement allowance
carer's allowance
disability living allowance
an allocation of local authority housing
local authority homelessness assistance
Am I allowed to claim public funds?

If your leave is subject to a condition that you have "no recourse to public funds", then in most cases you won't be able to claim any of the benefits, tax credits or housing assistance that count as public funds. However, exceptions do apply to some benefits. If you are in any doubt about whether you are able to claim a particular fund, you should contact the department or agency that issues it.

Do other benefits and public services count as public funds?

Only the forms of support listed above count as public funds. Public funds do not include the Benefits based on National Insurance contributions, such as:

contribution-based jobseeker's allowance
incapacity benefit
retirement pension
widows benefit and bereavement benefit
guardian's allowance
statutory maternity pay
Healthcare and education also do not count as public funds - although your immigration status may affect whether you are eligible for them.
