settlement visa uk documents help requirements

Post by 104paul » Sat Sep 23, 2017 10:08 am

Hi all,

Seeking advice for a uk settlement visa for an unmarried partner.

I'm from uk but living with my Vietnamese girlfriend and our daughter in Vietnam.

Proof of accommodation back in the uk question.

1. I have the deeds to my house, but my late mother is also named on the deeds.
Is this acceptable or unacceptable?

2. Do i need to have an official survey/property inspection of the house?

Thank you in advance for any responses

2. Do i need to have an official survey/property inspection of the house? This is only required when there are multiple occupants.

Thank you in advance for any responses
Points to consider:
1. Do you have documented evidence of living together in a relationship 'akin to marriage' for a minimum of 2 years.

2. Are you meeting the financial minimum income level through savings or earnings in Vietnam the equivalent of £18,600 p.a for the last 12 months AND a confirmed offer of employment in the UK to start within 3 months of arrival. :?:

3. Does your daughter hold a British passport?

4. Your partner will need to pass the A1 English test from a Home Office approved test provider.

Be aware that Unmarried Partner visas come under a great deal of scrutiny and you must be able to tick all the boxes.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Hi Casa,

And thank you. I'm just doing some research at the minute.

1. This is a big concern to me, we pay everything in cash to a friend we rent accommodation from as well as water and electricity.

2. Hopefully doing this with life savings from working as a contractor in uk.

3. Any day now our daughters passport should be confirmed. That's not been easy!!

4. A1 english test and tb test in hcm hopefully before xmas 🤞🏻.

Thank you for the advice Paul
