| 6:Can somebody else fill in my application form for me? |
| |
| Yes, but you must sign the application form personally to show that the information given is true and accurate. Giving false or misleading information, or failing to give important relevant information on an entry clearance form, or to an entry clearance officer, can be reason for an application to be refused. Our visa application forms are available only in English and must be completed in English. This will mean that your application is understood when it is received and will reduce the need for you to provide further information or be interviewed.

| 7:Do I need a visa for the UK? |

| 8:Do I need to send my visitor a sponsorship form? |
| |
| You do not need to obtain a ’sponsorship declaration’ from a solicitor or Comissioner for Oaths. However, a letter from you detailing your occupation and salary and, if you will be financing the visit, evidence of your abilty to do so, would be helpful.
