Can my spouse receive an emergency UK visa to visit a funeral?
I'm a British national. My grandmother just passed. My wife is Chinese. In general it's a major pain to get my wife a visa to visit the UK, we have never been before.
Is there any way to get an emergency visa to attend the funeral?
What sort of documents would we need?
Best Answer
when my father in law passed away I was granted visit visa for 6 months within 7 days and I enclosed the death certificate and a request letter from (I forgot where did my husband got it from).. that letter got an official stamp and statement that I must attend the funeral as it was his last will. Before that I always got refused by the UK ?
