Visitor Visa

[Wandra]

Hi,

I’m planning to invite my parents in law for second time to UK. They already visited us between (11/2022-04/2023) stayed 151 days.

I am writing to seek clarification regarding proof of funds for my in-laws’ UK visitor visa application. My father-in-law has sufficient fund to show financial ties to home with property registered under their name ( both father and mother in law) . he recently received £15,000 ( amount converted from INR value ) in his Indian bank account in February 2025 from a life insurance mutual fund maturity. We understand that a sudden large deposit may raise concerns, and we want to ensure we provide sufficient documentation to verify the source of funds. My father-in-law is retired and and mother- in-law is an house wife.

we have an email from the bank confirming the mutual fund maturity payout. The email includes details such as the policy number and the exact amount deposited to account. Apart from this email, we have a mutual fund statement taken on Jan 2025, however, the statement amount is not matching the deposited amount as the maturity was not fully calculated for final settlement.

Could you please confirm whether this email alone would be sufficient for the UKVI case officer to verify the source of funds? If additional documentation is required, kindly advise on the best course of action to strengthen the application.

We appreciate your guidance on this matter and look forward to your response.

What you have should suffice. Moreso, they are recent returnees, their visa processing wouldn't go through that much scrutiny again!

It's almost a walk in the park. Except when you have more pressing issues.

Thank you, Ticktack. We also concern about below,

When we applied for my parents-in-law’s first UK visitor visa, we stated in the application—based on our agent’s advice—that they planned to stay for three months. My father-in-law adhered to this timeline and left as mentioned. However, my mother-in-law ended up staying longer, for a total of 151 days.

As we are now considering applying for them second visitor visa, we are concerned whether her extended stay ( from being mentioned) might raise any red flags during the assessment process. Could this impact her chances of obtaining second visit visa?

We would appreciate your guidance on this matter.

I don't think it should. Plans change.

Technically, she's allowed to stay for 6 months max. However, not advisable to continue to do that and push boundaries, but she should be fine.

No actual laws broken!

Hi,

We had submitted property documents (translated to English) in our previous applications around two years ago. Can we can reuse the same translated documents for our current application, or if a new translation with a current date is required.

Thanks for your assistance.
