Thank you mumair. Best of luck on your journey! 😊

I'm glad you liked it! Best of luck for the future! 👍

Provide your family registration certificates and then family registration certificates of your parents. Then also provide you National ID cards that show the father's name. This should hopefully prove the connection. In addition can provide the affidavit of support for good measure. Then in addition the sponsor will have to show all the financial documents I talked about in the video. Declare the sponsor details in your application clearly. Page 23 of this document highlights it. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1167576/Visit.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwibzJu4--uCAxUxWUEAHWeFDPoQFnoECCcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2BkzYBSQ6wAdiVIaGH3Dgi And again. Please keep in mind I'm not an immigration lawyer and providing you information without knowing your full circumstances. So I can't guarantee the success of your application.

@@drwajih32 Thank you for your response.

A letter on the official letter head should be sufficient

Letter to whom it concern will help you in this regard also please submit visa application form accordingly (In Sponsor details mention all relevant details like how much he is paying, why he is paying and all) Wish you good luck!

I can't say if it's a mandatory requirement or not but certainly worth getting if you can. Every bit of evidence strengths the application. If you think your circumstances may a bit more complicated then a safer option would be to consult with an immigration lawyer.

Hi thishan. Sorry I can't offer immigration advice as I'm not qualified to do so. You will have to ask a lawyer that question. To the best of my knowledge the standard visitor visa is not for work or training purposes. You have separate visa categories for that. Hope that helped.

😀

Hi Navy. Interesting question. But this sounds like one for the immigration experts. I'm afraid I can't help with this one. Do share your experience with what you eventually did and if it worked.

If you have a financial sponsor then you need not worry about your employment status.

Hi Aiman. I can't give you professional advice as I'm not qualified to do so, plus i'm not fully aware of your personal circumstances.. But from my experience and that of colleagues, if one's sponsor has sufficient funds, then the applicant's bank statements don't matter. The applicant's bank statements do matter if one states they are employed. However, in your case, it sounds like you are no longer employed and hence should not state that you are. Being honest is the best thing. If you feel like your personal circumstances are complex, then seeking the help of an immigration lawyer would be the best approach.

Yes.

I've detailed all the information in the video. All you need to do is pause the video and zoom in for a better view.

Hi Simple. The documents depend on the purpose of your visit.

Hi sorry I'm not sure about the requirements for an academic visit visa. For a standard visitor visa there was no such requirement for a health insurance document. Hope that helped.

Hi! If you go through the correct routes I don't see why you wouldn't get a visa. I don't have much experience with your particular situation so i don't know which visa would apply to you. But you could find out on gov.uk

You can do that but ideally it's better to show receipts for everything you are going to be doing there

I didn't have a good amount in my personal account.

Standard visitor visa. Sub category can be bussiness.

Hi Romaissa. Yes translating to English would be an appropriate option. Did you eventually end up submitting the application?

I'm afraid I can't be sure what documents you would need for a standard vsiitor visa based on a summer internship programme. You'd have to look it up online. Consider using chatgpt and gov.uk.

Birth Certificate of your brother and their marriage contract to show the links between you and ur brother..If you stay with them you need to provide a tenancy agreement , council tax, ur sister inlaw or ur brother landlord letter ,their financial bank statement if they are the one who will sponsor you and mostly their invitation letter

Well explained. Thanks for weighing in Twinkle. 👍

One of the most debated questions out there. I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary but it is preferable.

Glad you liked it! 😊

I would advise for you to apply to renew your NIC asap. These days NADRA processes them really fast if you select priority. I registered for the IELTS with my passport details. I hope this helps. Thanks for your kind words!

@@drwajih32 Assalamualikum

Hi that's a difficult question for me to answer. You would be better of speaking with a solicitor for that.

Mentioning the address is a good idea. You can use all the documents I described in the video as evidence of income. Tax returns are quite good.

Thank you so much!

I'm sorry but I am unaware of the implications of having accounts in two countries. All I know is as long as you have the bank statements, and the money is readily available to you then it's not a problem.

Thanks for your kind words. No you don't have to book tickets in advance.

@@drwajih32 we need to saw dummmy tickit or not need to saw in visa file.

@@PiyushKumar-gv4om you don't need to show any tickets for your visa application.

Generally the one with a regular income is the stronger one.

Hi Harpeet. Sorry I have no experience with a UK transit visa. Best to ask an immigration expert.

Hi Saher. Unfortunately I can't share the letter itself. However if you use a laptop screen you should be able to make out the details. Try adjusting your video quality to 1080p for a clearer picture as well.

@@drwajih32 thanku sir..

You don't need to attach air tickets. I didn't for my application. You can highlight this point in your cover letter if you want.

I made them up myself.

Hi. Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately I cannot provide you with my personal written letter. Please feel free to extract the info from the video as a guide but try to write an original letter.

Hi there. Great question. It's hard for me to say without knowing your individual circumstances. Generally speaking these things are not needed. However I would strongly recommend going through this website to find out if you do: www.gov.uk/standard-visitor/apply-standard-visitor-visa

@@drwajih32 Thank you for the information. Appreciate it!

Hello there, I have a question :) My brother is inviting me for 3 weeks' holiday in April for Easter. I want to apply for 6 month visitor visa but my current passport will expire this year in September. Can I still use this passport to apply for a visa, please?

That's a very technical area. I'd recommend discussing with a lawyer as loans might not look good on your application.

You can either upload scanned copies or take your originals and have them scan it at the time of biometric check.

Yes. I would advise to take all your original documents. You can never be too sure which documents might come in handy last minute. At the appointment usually the only two documents they ask of you even if you have uploaded everything are your current passport and the UKVI checklist.

hey bro, you received your visa?

No you don't need the affidavit. FRC is still useful to prove ties back home.

I don't think it was necessary but yeah I'd advise to take all original documents and print outs at the time of your biometric appointment just in case.

Umm....the affidavit doesn't need to include the bank details. You should mention their bank details in your cover letter.

Sorry I'm not sure how the translation service works.

Hi was this enough?

Hi Golu. The general advise people give is have 3 times your intended expenses in your sponsor's bank. If your sponsor can show this much then your personal account statement becomes less important. Do share your experience and if 2300£ was enough for you.

Your sponsor's accounts should be fine. If all other requirements of the application are met.

Hi Nazia. Sorry but that sounds like a question for the lawyers. Not sure how the rules work in Saudia.

My only advise would be to try to publish research papers and gain some teaching exposure. That will build your CV for when you want to apply for residency. Plab 1 and 2 are exams that don't really require alot of studying. You can find out about my timeline here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqqUl7Je29usmnU.html

Yes!

No you dont need

There is no problem with mentioning the course so long as you clarify that attending the course is not your primary reason for visit and that this course won't lead to any sort of certification.

You can write it in MS word. And i can't say if it's mandatory or not. When it comes to the visa process you don't want to leave any stones unturned.

Sorry I'm not sure if I quite understood your comment but yes you can explain all personal circumstances in your cover letter.

Your sponsor's statement only. Not your own.

@@drwajih32 thank you 👍

Try to explain the transaction in your cover letter and show all the sources of the funds.

Well I didn't have to translate and notarize the NIC. So I can't imagine it would be a problem.

Hi there. No you don't.

I can't advise you on what to say or not. However if your trip will be fully sponsored then your financial/employment details are not as relevant as your sponsor's.

@@drwajih32 so it wouldn't matter if I seem financially unstable myself, but what matters is my sponsor's situation

@@khalilguessoum correct....same what i do to support or sponsor my father

Just the large sums. And it depends on what kind of contributions they were.

Thank you for your response . The contribution from my sister was as much as the payment for my plab fees so, about £900. Should I add their bank statement as well, as proof. My sister is married and doesn’t bear my surname anymore, in Nigeria there’s no family Registeration, how can I proof the contribution was from her?

Yes bank statements. Plus may be you have a national ID card with the same Father name? Incase the sister is an adopted sibling then perhaps adoption papers? Anything to certify your relationship. If your situation is not straightforward then the best course of action is to ask an immigration solicitor.

Unemployed.

​@@drwajih32thank you 😊 and very informative vidoes God bless you!

Stamped from the bank

hi @drwajih32 , why don’t electronic bank statements work? is this a make or break thing?

Should be alright.

Hi Hiba. I can't definitively answer that question without having a broad understanding of your personal circumstances. All I can say is that sponsors can be retired and still be able to show proof of regular income through investments or pensions. Retired people can sponsor others provided they meet the financial requirements. If your situation is complex then perhaps consulting with a qualified immigration professional like a lawyer might be the best thing.

These days I'd suggest applying 3 months before your actual exam.

Hi Gopiraj! Following is what i would go with To: Entry clearance officer UK Visas and Immigration

@@drwajih32 I am from Sri Lanka. I hope still I can use like this. ☺️

@criss gopi I can't make guarantees, but that's just how I did it. And it worked.

@@drwajih32 I think, it won’t be a problem for them. Because the decision will be make in the uk for all nationality applicants.

You can reach out to me here: instagram.com/dr_wajih_official?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= If you don't have a sponsor then you don't need it to prove any relationship. But my advise would be to still attach an frc to show your ties back home. It's not mandatory though.

@@drwajih32 Thank you so much. Just one more thing. Despite the booking i have made , should still attach an invitation from a friend in UK ? Which i have already. And i had been to UAE. EGYPT and AZERBAIJAN from 3rd to 11th of August. Can i apply for this tourist visa now ? Or gap is just too short to do that? Thanks in advance

Please see the following video for a complete list of documents needed: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j5qFfMSDmbrNn4U.html

Hello did you on,u upload your cousin or yours as well?

Hello ,did you manage to present your cousin's bank statements on your behalf coz l am also a student and l want to visit the Uk but l don't have bank statements for now.My sister is the one who is doing it for me

It's acceptable.

1. NADRA website 2. My advise would always be to stay as honest as possible. That being said you should be able to rely solely on your dad's finances to get you through.

Scan the originals.

On Biometric day I have to take photocopies of all documents with password that I had uploaded on website or not ?

@@hafsakhan3613 take all the original documents, passport, and UKVI checklist.

I didn't show anything in particular for that..

its your sponsor passport or residency showing they are not living here in UK illegally

That's a hard one for me to answer. Did you manage to find a way or are you still looking for a solution?

@@drwajih32hey, I did ask some people and they said though the transactions were high value but they were fairly regular. So they said it would be fine, however I am still waiting for my visa. I appeared for biometrics on 29th August, waiting for the decision. Hopefully it’s in my favour 🤞

@@alphaforest that sounds reasonable. I hope you'll post the good news when you get so we can all celebrate your success. 👍

@@drwajih32 got my visa doctor, thank you so much :)

Congratulations! I am extremely happy for you! 😊

any update?

any update?

Not yet

I submitted my biometric last May 31..till now I didn't receive an email for standard visitor visa

@@marywonderann They will reply in the last day of the 6 weeks

Hi what did you do? did you get your visa? I have a similar situation please help

@@italkwhatever yes

@@muhammedfazil7345 I applied, hope I get a visa 😭

Please review gov.uk for the answer to that question. To the best of my knowledge a standard visitor visa is valid for plab 2 and doing a clinical elective in UK only.

Hi what did you do?

Hey, did you get visa with that??

I have the same issue, please help

You can check your email after your payment...after your payment you can just go to vfs and book an appointment....once u book ur appointment there is is the applicant details and below those there is the self upload...Im on the middle of uploading my dad's supporting docs as well because i fill up the form on behalf of him and he will go to his biometric next week....

Thanks for weighing in Twinkle. I hope that answered your question Saibal. Do share your experience so others can benefit from your experience. 👍

Thank you, yes it went exactly as Rwinkle predicted, there is a very good symbiosis between gov.uk and the VFS website which is quite sophisticated and comprehensive, as one can log in directly through both portals using the dedicated link they send by email.

@Saibal De fantastic. Very happy it worked out for you! 😊

So payslips aren't going to be enough. You will have to show your statement. Any large transactions should be explained. Especially in terms of cash going in.

@@drwajih32 but what if i am getting my salaries as monthly cheques and i do not have any bank account?

and what is the point of showing my own account, if i am not going to use it for my expenses in the uk ?

Sorry ihtisham. I can't seem to fully understand your specific situation. Usually the employers recommend to their employees at the start of a job to open an account for transferring salary either through cheque or bank transfer. You must have an account in your name where you deposit your cheques as well right?

I'm sorry it's all a very confusing process. It can become frustrating as well but the point of it all is to determine you have a legal stable source of income and you can afford to travel to the UK without having to work over there for your sustenance. I wish I could've been more helpful.

Hi Zahoor. Here's a list of documents I used: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j5qFfMSDmbrNn4U.html However the one you may need might be different depending on your personal circumstances. Do share your experience and the list you eventually ended up using so others can benefit.

Your PLAB 1 was or is in UK?

Hi Xebi. I've actually broken the whole visa application process down in a lot of detail.

@@drwajih32 Thanks bro

Thanks for sharing your experience and please could you guide me what documents my mom needs and how is process in Pakistan if we sponsor from uk actually my wife will do for my mother . Thanks

Yes it is for standard visitor visa. But different people have different reasons for applying for a standard visitor visa. Mine is geared towards doctors going to the UK for PLAB 2.

I would attach both.

@@drwajih32 thanks for the prompt response.

You need the same documents just in your name. As far as your job is concerned tell your HR people that you need a letter from them for visa purposes that states your full name, role, salary and the fact that you work there full time/part time. Whatever your contract is.

@@drwajih32 thank you so much

Hi. Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately I'm not well versed in the process for Ireland. I'd recommend reaching out to someone who is. Best of luck!
