Visa for non UK step daughter

Post by Angy » Wed May 23, 2018 7:27 am

Both my husband and I are British citizens . He has a daughter (from previous marriage) she's not a British citizen and never been to the UK. My husband has passed away recently. My questions are:
1. Can she apply for a resident visa as her father was a British citizen when he passed away?
2.Or can she apply for a family visa to visit me?

Thank you in advance
Angie

Post by Angy » Wed May 23, 2018 2:09 pm

Both my husband and I are British citizens . He has a daughter (from previous marriage) she's not a British citizen and never been to the UK. My husband has passed away recently. He became British citizen after he had his daughter.
I would like to know if :
1. She can apply for a resident visa as her father was a British citizen when he passed away?
2.Or can she apply for a family visa to visit me as I raised her up.

Please note that my step daughter lives in Africa and does not have have a UK/EU passport.

Thank you
Angie

No.
2.Or can she apply for a family visa to visit me as I raised her up.
She can apply for a visitor visa if she qualifies.

How old is the daughter??

Where is the daughter's other parent?

Sorry no chance of a settlement visa/residence visa etc unfortunately.

To qualify as a visitor, she will need to prove her strong ties to her home country (social, family, economic, property, employment, savings etc etc).
