Well, Ruby had none of these either, but she was granted a visitor visa last year.Originally Posted by benb
The only thing in her favour was that she had been out of the Philippines before. Oh, and she had me to sponsor her!

Ok, everyone.......Oh, and she had me to sponsor her!
Now you know who to ask for sponsorhip......
Sorry to hear that, I hope she wins her appeal. We will have a similar situation early next year as want to bring Ligaya's mum over. She has ony just got her passport recently, has no real savings and just a small farm as assets. At 68 she has no work or studies to return to and the family are grown up. Hmmmmm, I wonder if there is any chance for her. I suppose we could open a peso saving account in her name and transfer a million or so to support the application but I am still worried they might reject her application
Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy
if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!
A local travel agent who deals with visa told us that the applicant would need at least £5000.00 in savings as evidence.
Best Wishes,
we never had to show them that my mum or my sister has £5k, we have not been refused a visa yet, my sister who is not employed and has no money either has already been here 4 times. all they ever wanted was to know that we are financially able to look after them while they are staying with us and that if ever they got sick we can pay half of the medical cost. but when my mum got sick here we found out that we did not have to pay as she was entitled to free healthcare as a visiting relative.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.
no such thing as free healthcare as a visiting relative
'anyone who comes to the UK on holiday or for a short term visit will have to pay for any NHS hospital treatment they may need while they are here, unless they meet the criteria for one of the exemptions from charges. This includes people coming to visit relatives who are ordinarily resident in the UK. Their entitlement to free treatment does not extend to you, even if you are going to be staying with them for several weeks or months. If you think you will have to pay for treatment, you are strongly advised to take out health insurance before you travel.'

they should definitely have good health insurance if any family or friends visit you.
my mum was diagnosed with diabetes here in the uk, she collapsed at home and was rushed to hospital, we didnt have a pay a penny, that was only 2 years agono such thing as free healthcare as a visiting relative

I think transferring some of your fortune to her account can help. My cousin in Wales sponsored his Mom and it was alright. Then after a year, he sponsor his Mom-in-Law but was refused. One of the questions was :why you want to visit UK. She answered " To look after their babies"

As far as I know its much harder now compared to last year.Well, Ruby had none of these either, but she was granted a visitor visa last year.

Grrrrr overstayers!
I'm sorry to hear this, it just dosen't seem fair.
I've been wondering recently, whether to apply for a visitor visa for my gf.
I know the odds are stacked against, but I'd love her to get a feel for the UK.
Hope the appeal goes in your favour.
