Expat- Visitor visa for wife to UK?

Post by screet1211 » Thu Jan 04, 2018 6:23 am

Hi
Apologies if this is in the wrong section. Newbie here. Hoping to contribute here as much as I can and also get some guidance.

Would appreciate if I could get some guidance on this. So, I’m a British National, born and bred in England. I came to Pak in August and got married here. I decided to prolong my stay in Pak, and am now currently employed here in Pak in a private company for the past month.

My question is I plan on going back to the UK to visit my family in May for a month or so and I want to take my wife as well on a visit visa who is a Pakistani national. We both plan on returning after a month as I work in Pak now.

What would be the procedure in applying for a visit visa for her? What docs would I need to show and what do I need to prove? I have a house in my name in the UK in terms of accommodation.

Thanks

vinny

Standard Visitor visa.

You should show your strong ties to Pakistan (employment, etc.) and she should show her strong ties to you and Pakistan, etc.

Would she attach my financial statements to her application and would it support my application if I was to get a letter from a my sisters also stating that financially they will also support?

So esentially all i would need to show are my strong ties?

Of course, also showing adequate Maintenance and accommodation is expected.
