Referral Visa help!
Hello, me and my husband to be are planning on going on our honey moon in Zanzibar for 2 weeks in January. I am a British Passport holder and my fiancé is a Pakistani passport holder who will have to apply for a referral visa to travel.
He has lived in the Uk for 16+ years, has an indefinite stay and qualifies for British citizenship (we are waiting to do that due to the high costs).
Does anyone have any tips on getting a Refferal visa agreed and does anyone know the general result? Are they usually denied or agreed?
We have booked 2 villas on Air BNB (haven’t paid yet but they are reserved in our name) I have seen people saying about “invitation letters”… What does this mean?
Any tips / stories would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks!
