MANDYL Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks ! I was hoping for something like three months at the most. Don't want visitors for such a long period of time. But will make sure that I make the bookking etc. so that it is only for three months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Although the visum is valid for a year, you are only allowed in the country for a 3 month periods.I have seen there is a special form for people over 70 they should fill in. Do you know on which basis these people would be declined a visitors visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindylou Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 The visitor's visa might also have entry restrictions - one entry only - or multiple entries allowed. Something to keep in mind if your visitor plans on going to NZ for example. Marlene, I know of a lady who had her visa application declined due to ill health.C'Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
