Hi, you do not need to state your accommodation plans. I, Mr lagbaja and Mrs tamedo parents of (child's name) consent that we shall take full responsibility for the child and she will be staying with us in the UK.

Then parents co-sign

Tutu82:

This is not correct information,you do need to prove it through accommodation amongst other things and they will check for safeguarding and child protection.

Nice reading this... May I know where you applied from and did you use Nigeria Bank Account statements where ur salary is being paid to apply ? Would appreciate ur soonest response...

Iruosonobrugwhe:
it actually states amongst other things that the letter of consent should confirm "consent from parent(s) to the living arrangements in the UK and the address where you will be staying.

Tutu82:

Amongst other things means letter is not enough you have to prove it and the address would be looked up.This is an advisory forum so take what you need.

It’s highly recommended the parents demonstrate adequate accommodation for the child’s stay in the UK.
When I say adequate accommodation the Appendix FM of the UK immigration rules has made provisions and clearity to what adequate means in this context and it says When applying for entry clearance, leave to remain or settlement to join a partner, parent, dependant child, or as an adult dependant relative in the UK, applicants must satisfy an accommodation requirement,
Applicants must show that their accommodation is ‘adequate’. The requirement for ‘adequate accommodation’ means that the family will be living in accommodation which:

Is owned or occupied exclusively by the applicant and their family;
Will be obtained without recourse to public funds;
Is not, or will not, be overcrowded; and
Does not breach public health regulations.
There is no room for a shared apartment under this provisions.

Iruosonobrugwhe:
actually concurring with you.

Nchabuomo:


Yeah, but you should confirm you need one. You might be exempt especially if you are staying airside.

Fisherlala:


Do you work in the country you reside or a student?

tushqueen:



Is this new? I applied for my nuclear family last year December, letter of consent typed for 2kids and there was no mention of accommodation in the letter. In fact I was still living in my company's accommodation at that time. Their visas were granted even before 2wks.

Fisherlala:


Well, I can’t doubt your personal experience but it’s a provision under the citizenship and immigration act 2009.

Ijaay83:


Please what does it mean to stay airside.

Good morning people...
I just got a mail from TLS that a decision has been made on my application...

Application submission: 24th May
Biometric: 26th May
Standard Application

I am a frequent traveller (though i last visited the UK in 2016) and currently have a running Canadian visitor visa on the passport. I got a UK 6-month visa last year (February 2020) but couldn't travel due to COVID.

I guess i should be optimistic of a favourable outcome...lol
