Apply UK RETIREMENT VISA above 60 years of age

UK RETIREMENT VISA

Retirement to the UK is an option for foreign nationals over sixty who can demonstrate an income of £25,000 per year “without working”, and a close connection with the UK. The ‘close connection’ requirement is not defined rigidly, and may, for example, be satisfied by having a close relative in the UK, previous UK residence, business connections/interests in the UK, or a strong sense of identity with the UK.

For the UK Retirement Visa the income can be derived from an overseas pension, trust fund, rents on property or any other legally enforceable agreement.

Admission Requirements for the UK Retirement Visa
- The applicant must be at least 60 years old.
- Have under his or her control (and disposable in the UK) an income of not less than £ 25,000 per annum.
- Be able to demonstrate a close connection with the UK.
- Be able and willing to maintain and accommodate themselves (and any dependants) indefinitely without taking employment.
- Intend to make the UK their main home.

There are three points in particular which are of particular importance: the financial requirement; the close connection requirement; and the ability and willingness to maintain oneself indefinitely without working. These are discussed in more detail below.

Be able to demonstrate a close connection with the UK
The close relative should ideally be present and settled in the UK.It is not particularly useful that they have the potential right to come here or that they are merely in the UK in a temporary capacity. Furthermore, the closeness of the relationship is relevant; i.e. an immediate relative is of more value than a more distant relative.

Other relevant considerations may include a strong sense of belonging and identity with the UK; voluntary election of an applicant to be in the UK whenever possible; ownership of property in the UK; community involvement during previous periods of residence; and close friendships with persons settled in this country

* This list of registered sponsor institutions in the UK to claim 30 points keeps on updating constantly. You need to check the link each time before making the application to the Vfs-UK in India. This is help to know if the college or university is taken off the sponsor list or not. If so, you need to change the institute in order to save your application from a refusal.


This is a list of organisations licensed to sponsor migrants under Tier 4 of the Points-based System. It shows the organisation's name (in alphabetical
order), the tier(s) they are licensed for, and whether they are HTS, A-rated, B-rated or Legacy against each sub-tier.  Legacy sponsors cannot sponsor
any new students. They can continue to sponsor existing students who are already studying with them until either they finish their course or until
their licence expires, whichever happens first. A sponsor may be licensed under more than one tier, and may have different ratings for each tier

ILR - Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. Permanent Residency

Changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) rules on 6th April 2011...

From 6th April 2011, the UK Border Agency has changed the immigration rules for anyone applying for an Indefinite Leave to Remain visa (aka Permanent Residency).  There have been two types of changes:

Changes that affect all applicants that are applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain;
Changes that affect only those on a Tier 1, Tier 2 or Work Permit applying for ILR


Changes affecting all applicants

The following two changes affect everyone:

Criminal Convictions – You can no longer apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain if you have been convicted of a crime and not enough time has passed for the conviction to become “spent”.     “Spent” is a legal term that means the conviction can no longer be held against you in line with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.  Most convictions become spent after 5 - 7 years from the date of conviction in court.  For an example, this would mean that if you were convicted of a crime once you have spent four years in the UK on a Tier 1 (General) visa, you would have to stay on your Tier 1 visa for another 5 year period before applying for ILR whilst you wait for the conviction to become spent!  Please also note that this includes traffic offences such as drink driving or driving without insurance etc.  Do not panic if you have any penalty charge notices, parking tickets or fines as these are not criminal convictions
Your wife or husband must have spent 2 years living in the UK with you before they now qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain – before the changes we just had to declare any dependents and they would be granted ILR with the main applicant regardless of their length of time in the UK.  We now have to prove that your husband or wife (dependent) has been living at the same address as you (the main applicant) for no less than 2 years before they can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain.

 Changes affecting clients applying for ILR who are currently on a Tier 1, Tier 2 or Work Permit visa

From 6th April 2011, the UK Border Agency has also specifically changed the process for any Tier 1, Tier 2 or Work Permit visa holder’s applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

Changes affecting Tier 1 visa holders:

As an overview, any Tier 1 (General) clients applying for ILR will now have to satisfy the same points requirement they needed to qualify for their Tier 1 extension (i.e. 75 points if you got your first HSMP/Tier 1 visa before 6th April 2010 or 80 points if after).  Effectively, they have combined your Tier 1 extension (yes, another one!) with the ILR process so you MUST make sure that your earnings are high enough in the last 12 months to now qualify for ILR!

Changes affecting clients applying for ILR who are currently on a Tier 1, Tier 2 or Work Permit visa

From 6th April 2011, the UK Border Agency has also specifically changed the process for any Tier 1, Tier 2 or Work Permit visa holder’s applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

Changes affecting Tier 1 visa holders:

As an overview, any Tier 1 (General) clients applying for ILR will now have to satisfy the same points requirement they needed to qualify for their Tier 1 extension (i.e. 75 points if you got your first HSMP/Tier 1 visa before 6th April 2010 or 80 points if after).  Effectively, they have combined your Tier 1 extension (yes, another one!) with the ILR process so you MUST make sure that your earnings are high enough in the last 12 months to now qualify for ILR!


Changes affecting Tier 2/Work Permit visa holders:

Tier 2 visa holders now have to show that their earnings are as high as the minimum salary requirement under the UK Border Agency's "Codes of Practice for Tier 2 Sponsored Workers" (which can be found on their website).  For example, this means that if you are working as a Marketing Manager and the minimum salary according to the UKBA is £40,000 per annum, your earnings will have to be £40,000 per annum for you to qualify for ILR.

You must check whether your gross earnings are high enough according to the UKBA's list.  If they are not, you will not qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain.

Visa Appeals Out of time

The visa appeals if lodged after the deadline will be deemed as out of time appeal and thus, the candidate might lose a chance of him to represent his case to more learned Judge than the Entry clearance officer.

If there are any out of time notices served, there is still an avenue you can use a legitimate reason for its acceptability by the First tier court.

UK Student Visa Interviews compulsory

 The compulsory interviews will start on 30 July 2012 at the British diplomatic post in respective countries and it is estimated that they will affect 10,000-14,000 overseas students.

The interview will allow the authorities to refuse student visas on the basis of the answers given or if the applicant fails to attend without reasonable excuse.

Yet there has been no clear announcement as to the criteria which will be applied to the interviews or how they will be carried out, although it is expected that student applicants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma, Nigeria and the Philippines will be targeted.

Need some feedbacks and comments from the candidates to share their recent interview questions if applied after 30th July.

Family Visitors visa appeal abolished!

On 18 June 2012, the Immigration Appeals (Family Visitor) Regulations 2012 come into force today (9 July 2012). The regulations set out who qualifies for a full right of appeal against a visa refusal to visit family in the UK.

The above changes the appeal rights of family visit visa applicants.

If you are applying to visit your uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, first cousin, or a relative who does not have settled, refugee or humanitarian protection status in the UK, and we refuse your visa application, you will not have a full right of appeal. A limited right of appeal will remain on human rights and race discrimination grounds.

It is very important for you to answer the question correctly;
1. What is the relationship with you and the person in the UK?

2. Where are you going to stay?

If the answer to 1  is sister for example and the answer to 2 is staying at a different place than the sister, lets a friends place then the Entry clearance officer may refuse your application without a right of appeal.
According to a learned Judge with first tier court, sometimes family visitors do stay at a different place from their immediate relatives place viz; Hotel as well

Applicant if refused without a right of appeal despite being qualifying for VAF1 B criteria, must challenge this decision with the Entry clearance manager.

No changes are being made to the Rules governing who can qualify for entry to the UK as a visitor and genuine visitors are welcome.
