Question Do I need to include passport photos with a settlement visa application?

Hello,

Do I have to include some printed passport photos in my wife's application bundle? She is the applicant and I'm the sponsor. I can't see any mention of printed passport photos on the online Visa4UK website or in the Appendix 2 document. Are they required?

Thanks,

Mark

I was just about to ask this as I'm submitting on Fri and need to know. I have seen people say their passport photographs were returned intact.

Whilst it’s debatable how useful it will be it is still listed as a requirement on the official guidelines.

This document also states that previous passports need to be submitted. Will photocopies be okay or do they need the actual passport?

Thanks

You should send the applicant’s previous passports.

This document states applicant should show their employment details ie business registration details. I was earlier advised here not to include those as it's not important to a settlement application. What do I do now? Do I add my business registration certificate? Also is my previous marriage certificate necessary? We divorced and I have my new marriage certificate. Do I need to add the former one? What about a utility bill to show my address in my country? Pls help. Thank you

You don’t need to show the applicant’s employment details unless you are using them to meet the financial requirements.

You should add your decree absolute for your previous marriage; the marriage certificate itself isn’t required.

Adding something with your address is probably a good idea.
