a family visit visa, is cheaper and if your wife is only visiting the UK..
where do you live UK or phils ?
Im currently living here in the Uk its a long story but in short l was over in Davao for 2.5 years, then popped over here to see my uk daughter, got offered my old job back. Been back over there every 3 months but just want my missus and kids to get a taster of uk life and visit my side of family. We/she runs a cab business over there so cant be away to long. My plan is to go there, spend a week then fly here with them, take the 3 months or so here, then go back to Davao for a couple of weeks. If they like it and i can stand the cold weather any more might apply for residence later. Everybody says spouse visa easier to get but 600 quid a lot for a 3 / 4 month visit
Thanks for your reply....stretch
