Dependent outside UK SWV Visa question "your immigration status"

Post by aardvark281 » Tue Jun 18, 2024 5:56 pm

I'm applying for a dependant SWV Visa from outside the UK.

I'm an Indian passport holder applying from a GCC country and hold a temporary visa to stay in that country. The issue that I'm having is that my GCC Visa expires 4 days before the date I plan to arrive in the UK with the main SWV Visa holder. I can't fly before the main SWV Visa holder I've heard on loads of reddit posts too. The sponsor won't be able to move the date to an earlier date.

So basically I'm planning on paying the overstay fine for 4 days when I exit the GCC country but my main problem is filling in the dates of the GCC visa expiry on the UKVI visa application.

What do you all recommend to do? I could ask for a GCC visa extension but it would be cheaper to just pay the 4 day overstay fine. But I'm not sure whether my ukvi application will get rejected if I put the gcc visa expiry and it will show them the 4 day gap between the GCC visa and the arrival into UK.

I have attached a generic image to show what question I'm stuck on.

Thank you!

Never mind I just realised I can fly back to India before my GCC expiry then fly to UK properly.

Then you need to apply for your UK visa from India.
