Hello Everyone, I’m sorry that my first post should be a question, and a question referring to Visa applications for the UK as I’m sure many of you are tired of answering such questions, however my situation may be a little different from others posted, I’m not only asking for information for visa application to the UK but also what path would members recommend I take in making this application.
Just to give you some details about my wife and I, I’ve been away from the UK since the mid 1990s, only been back in recent years because of a death in my family, I am 54 and a British citizen, my wife is a Filipino and 41 years of age, we have been married for 11 years and other than holidays have lived in the Philippines most of our married life, we do not have any children, and neither of us have any significant savings, but do own five properties in the Philippines, and one House in the UK [ the UK house is mortgage free and is rented out at present]
My wife has travelled around Asia, and visited the UK some 8 years ago on a tourist visa.
Our intention is to sell all the properties in the Philippines, and try to relocate to the UK, my questions are, which would be the best/simplest Visa to apply for, and would it be better for us to make the application from the Philippines or the UK , it would be possible for me to return to the UK and look for employment whist we try to sell the Philippine properties, or sell my UK property to give myself a healthy bank account, I’m really open to all ideas and suggestions.
Thanks in Advance
Johny
