Hiya, Mavid. Its my first time to get in this kind of forum. just out of curiosity read your message. Anyway i am here in UK at the moment. just got married last year of Nov to a British guy and got tourist Visa entering to the UK, as I am currently studying Bachelor Degree back home(Philippines)

anyway regarding your question, I will just give you some information how i got a visa in the UK. Anyway first u have to go to the UK embassy in Makati, ask for the tourist form and requirements form. I am sure they will give you all info or requirements you need to complete, just dont hesitate to ask. After u have all the requirements call the CAVA, the numbers are also in the information papers that will be given to u.

I just gave them my school certificate or letter to proved that i am currently enrolled, and that i have to go back to Philippines to complete my degree. my statement of account. actually the last statement of account i gave them has 400 peso balance but they still accept that. but still better if u have money anyway my sponsor bank statement of account, work info, or share in the company, morgage if he have one. the reason why they need those req't as for them to see that he can sponsor your visit to the UK and need not to ask for public funds. because its not allowed anyway. wot else....well.. his letter of invitation and he may need to include how you two met, wot are the reason why he want to visit you to the UK. and u need to buy managers check to the bank or your bank. that how you going to pay them. Read the instruction in the form dont make a mistakes. u also need to write a formal letter to tell more about yourself and your BF.

If u have some Question u can ask me again. goodluck.

Cheers,
Majyca

hi and gd day to everyone I found this forum while browsing for information bout Tourist Visa to the UK and I decided to join in coz i read some very honest and informative answers.

I have a British b/f and i'm a filipina, we've been together for 2 years now and has visited me 3 times already. He really wants me to visit him this time. I was married before and had no contact with my ex husband for 4 yrs now, thats the big problem thats why we cant apply for a fiancee visa. He's even willing to marry me again coz we heard that we can do that, but im scared that once we apply for a spousal visa the British Embassy might found out that i was married b4.

Im thinking bout processing a Legal Separation, so when we apply for a Tourist Visa, i can honestly say that he's my b/f.

I really have no intentions of staying there for gd...i jst want to visit him. Im a kidney transplant so i wouldnt risk my life staying there illegaly.

What strong ties to my country should i have? What if i dont have a job now? But he will be sponsoring my tickets and all my expenses whilst there...

When i was working b4, i met this girl who got refused to enter Uk as a tourist for reasons that she doesnt even know the name of the parents of the guy, and that he jst met the guy on plane goin bk to the philippines (she's working as OFW) and that she has a child out of wedlock and no one will take care of the kid when she's away, where in fact shes been workin abroad for several years already.
To make it short, she didnt convince the interviewer that she will come bk.

Please i really need an advice and im hoping u lot can help me.

Thank You in advance...
Emy
