How do I indicate "visiting a family friend" in the UK Standard Visitor Visa application?
When applying as a minor for the UK Standard Visitor Visa, there is a question about "Private addresses in the UK" and the relationship with the person living at the private address.
We are traveling as a family to visit a family friend. The question about the relationship with the person at the address has no choice for "Family friend." What could be done in this case?
The exact question is as follows:
You have said that you will be staying at these addresses in the UK. Are any of these a person's home address?
If you select Yes we are presented with these choices
Telephone number of Mr. XYZ
Their relationship to you
The choices are: Adopted child, Brother, Brother-in-law, Child, Child's spouse (daughter-in-law or son-in-law), Daughter, Daughter-in-law, Father, Father-in-law, Grandchild, Grandparent, Husband, Mother, Mother-in-law, Parent, Sister, Sister-in-law, Son, Son-in-law, Spouse (husband or wife), Step-child, Step-parents, Step-sister or brother, Unmarried partner, Wife
Country of Nationality
What permission do they have to be in the UK?
Best Answer
If you are applying for a minor who's a family member (e.g., your child), and the minor will be staying with you at the address you stated in the child's application, then the answer is the minor is staying with father, or whatever your relationship is.
As @Traveller notes in the comments: Part 7 of the UK Visa Guidance instructs applicants to write the [child's or children's] names and GWF numbers for the parents in Part 7 of the child's application, and make an additional note in Part 9.
