    This is a new one for me, but as long as he has some sort of tenancy agreement, why not ?

    Second thoughts...a TOURING caravan. Hmm. Not sure whether the UKBA would be too impressed by that.

    I think your partner may have to be prepared to make some changes to his lifestyle (even if temporary) to keep the box-ticking civil servants at UKBA happy.

    I would rent a cheap flat and get a tenancy agreement.

    this is a joke ? right

    personaly i would doubt it would be ok, its a touring caravan, not even a static or mobile home,infact not much different to a tent,

    and most caravan sites you are not leagaly allowed to stay all of 12 months a year,

    how can he even think to bring you to such a thing, have you any idea how rough this would be for you during the winter months, how can he treat you like this, and in this uk climate, you would have a big shock, i cant believe he would risk your health like this

    It's a field !

    Currently there are only minimum facilities, but a new eco shower and toilet block is now under construction and will be completed for the Whitsun holiday period 2012.


    ... additionally, its a seasonal camp site.
    What happens in the winter months ? ..... you'll hook up the caravan and travel the length & breadth of Great Britain ?

    I'm not sure who's being delusional here.

    rhema,
    Sorry to say, but UKBA will no longer accept a touring caravan as suitable accommodation.

    They will accept 'mobile homes' / 'static caravans'.

    I think for the purposes of the settlement visa you will need to rent a small flat or room share in a multiple occupancy house, or even stay with family or friends etc.
    At least for a while.
