Worth shipping Tiguan car from aus to uk?

Hi all,

In a dilemma! We own a fully paid off Volkswagen Tiguan in australia. Thinking to ship it as we are relocating soon.

Shippign cost all inclusive is 5200 gbp with processing time between 4 to 6 months. We have plenty parking space whwre we are moving to.

If we sell it we may get 9k gbp ( bought is for 15k gbp in aus). We might need to spend 20k gbp to buy a similar car.

Very confusing as we are moving in 3 weeks :(

edit: shipping includes import duty, tax etc

Thanks

Category D - Bank Statement Proof Query

Hi,

Planning to apply for married spouse visa outside uk via cash savings route.

Our bank statements for our joint account is where cash is held for last 6 months.

For some reason we cannot simply generate 1 statement covering last 6 months. Only way we can do is attach multiple monthly statements for some months ( June, July and Aug) and a 3 month statement for Feb to May.

Will this be a problem?

Also we hit the minimum 88.5k on Feb 26 but the first statement shows transactions from Feb 20 that is below this amount. We will mention this in our declaration letter that the 6 month period is from Feb 26 to Aug 26. Will this be ok?

Thank you.

Category D - Proof of funds question

Hello,

We are planning to apply for a spouse visa under Category D from outside the UK.

We have the required amount saved in our joint Australian bank account. The source of these funds is from the salaries of both my husband and myself.

We will be providing a copy of a 6-month joint account statement where these savings are held along with a letter declaring the source of funds.

My question is, do we also need to also provide statements for the bank accounts where our salaries were originally credited to prove the source, as we transferred funds from our respective salary accounts into our joint account?

Thank you in advance.

Relationship Evidence Question

Hi all,

We are preparing for spouse visa application to be lodged soon.

We are married for the last 8 years and will ve applying from Australia via category D. Husband is the sponsor and we live with our daughter here.

Questions if you could please help with -

  1. Do we have to provide relationship evidence for last 2 years?

  2. We are providing timeline pictures covering last 10 years, joint cover letter, lease agreement for past 2 years, child's birth certificate with our names, joint bank statemwnt with our names and address. Is that enough proof? Do we need to also provide flight tickets as a family?

  3. Evidence such as utility bill (both our names with address on it) do we provide the latest bill or provide bills for the last 2 years? Is that too much?

  4. I will be applying using my NZ passport but I also have an Indian OCI ( Overswas Citizen of India) its not a passport itself but a document that provided me with entry to India indefinitely as I cannot hold dual citizenship and had to give up Indian citizenship for my NZ citizenship.

Thank you

Hi,

Planning to apply for spouse visa in a few months from Melbourne. I understand we can book priority service when we proceed to book biometric on VFS website. My question is whether priority service is always available to select or are there only a few slots for each day/month etc to choose this option.

Please advice.

Regards.
