Re: Expiry of settlement visa / ILE

I used sable for visa advise, and for tax consultation as I am moving a business with me. I did the settlement visas myself because I've done them before (long story). They're professional & give...

Re: Expiry of settlement visa / ILE

We have family in the UK, and try to see them once a year (either they come to South Africa, or we go there - barring the last 18 covid months). Is that useful?

I am in the process of registering...

Re: Expiry of settlement visa / ILE

No, none of us have stayed in the UK for any length of time. My wife was there for about 3 months after she left school, but thats it.

Re: Expiry of settlement visa / ILE

Sable suggested it might be possible to request an extension for the ILE, but have not given details of how. Any ideas?

Also, could we apply for Returning residents?

Re: Visas for children of 2 British-by-descent parents

Thanks for all the input poida & BritInParis. I've tried the visa call center & they said it's too complicated for them to work out what visa we need, so they've referred me to immigration directly....

Sorry my mistake, I meant RoI would cover hospital, but not GP.

Re: Visas for children of 2 British-by-descent parents

We've been considering that too, but don't know RoI at all, so don't know where to start looking for a place in our budget, thats not completely rural. Also, we were hoping to have some NHS support...

Re: Visas for children of 2 British-by-descent parents

SanDiegogirl - thanks for the warning about being unable to switch visas. I don't need a study visa as I'm a British citizen. I was hoping our kids might be able to get a 'dependent of student' visa...
