Letter of Consent from Parents for UK family visitor visa


Am posting a letter of consent from parents needed for a child's visa, if he is travelling to UK on family visitor visa with his grandparents(other relative), but not with his parents.

I had obtained UK visa with this format, but I know its not available on google and so was skeptical of the format.

Posting it here for Jan-Seva :) :P

The British High Commission then issues the visa, and this visa is valid only if the child is travelling with his relatives named in the letter of consent.

This format was used in April 2011. The letter is as below -




                                                                        Parent’s full address with date, mob number

           

To,
The British High Commission, Mumbai


Subject : Letter of consent for our son’s UK family visitor visa for travelling with grandparents to visit his uncle in UK

Dear Sir/Madam,

Hi Rajinder, am glad it is useful for you.

Unfortunately, I don't have format from the school, and I don't have that letter anymore, as it was way back in 2011. However I remember it was something on the below lines -

<<<<<
We hereby certify that is registered student and is studying in standard , class. His record number is .

The school will remain closed from <> to <> for summer holidays, and will re-open from <>.
We therefore approve 's application to go on holidays to the UK anytime during the period, as it will not impact his schooling/education.

If you have any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me at

Thanks in advance!

Hi Rajinder, those days, they didn't have online forms, and so no emails as well. But as much as I can recall -

Type of visa - Visitor
Service option - don't recall
Category - visitor visa
(because I was still on my tier visa, they couldn't apply as family visitor, so they applied as tourist visitor).

Hope this helps,
Good Luck
Aj
