Visitors visa

Post by craig1974 » Sat Nov 15, 2008 11:49 pm

Hi all

Please can someone tell me what is the best supporting documents I can supply for my friend who wishes to visit me for 3 weeks, she as a job in colombia and thye will keep her job open for her whilst she is here.
She as no money at all in the bank so cannot supply evidence of her funds, This trip will be financed soley by myself, i will be paying her air tickets, accomadation here in my home and all other money needed whilst here with me, What evidence can i supply to convinve the ECO officer she is only here for 3 weeks and i can support her during this 3 week stay.
SThe fact she as a job to return to and the fact i will be buying a return ticket surely should convinve the ECO she will return. I want to make sure i have everything before she applies in Colombia for this visitors visa
Thankyou in advance :D

Also just remembered something, isnt it silly to go and buy a return ticket before the visa is apporved, I am reluctent to buying a return ticket until the visa as been apporved, surely the ECO knows this and does not expect to see a return ticket when applying for a visitors visa???

thanks

Also, she does nt speak any english, we met whilst on my last trip to colombia, we are not partners, but we maybe in the future, she just wants to visit me for 3 weeks, i can prove we met etc etc, We are not really boyfriend and girlfriend but we are very fone of each other, do we say we are boyfriend and girlfriend or what, a little difficult to know what to say, we know we must tell the truth, but i am being honest, we would like to be together but want to spend a little more time together before we decide and her coming here for 3 weeks will help decide that, so in your opion, what do we tell them, we are partners or not, becuase we are not sure ourselves really

just read about her needing travel insurance also, what type of insurance, just normal travel insurance and will she need to purchase this before hand, a bit silly if her visa is not approved, so obviously this will be bought once her visa is approved surely
