已经回来了,从这个网站得到了很多帮助,包括旅游时的行程也参考了网站的很多内容,所以把申请签证的经过写一下,希望对以后申请的人有所帮助。
我是打算暑假带孩子去英国玩一下,所以4月份开始在网上填表开始申请签证的,用一个邮箱两个密码申请两份签证,当时正好网站改版,没有了中文界面,是全英文的,所以第一份申请填的很痛苦,幸好之后又恢复了中文界面,第二份申请就填的很轻松了。两份表格都填好之后,一直无法预约想要的递交时间,网站的预约界面也一直没有更新,一直等到5月中旬才能预约到6月11日的时间。预约完成后,收到的Checklist是这样的:
大人:

Documents showing any plans you have made, such as:
tour details / flight details / letter of invitation / evidence of sponsor's

such as:

/ business bank account statements
Money (either income or savings)

crop receipts

相对应的,提供了如下材料:
大人:
1、护照(原件1)
2、行程单(原件1);
机票(原件1);
酒店订单(原件1)
3、在职证明(原件1+翻译件1)
营业执照(复印件1+翻译件1)
4、银行流水(原件1+翻译件1)
5、户口簿(复印件1+翻译件1)
6、房产证(复印件1+翻译件1)
结婚证(复印件1+翻译件1)
注:其实清单上并没有提到户口簿,不知为何?为以防万一还是准备了。因为房产证是老婆的名字,所以提交了结婚证作为辅助证明。
孩子:
1、护照(原件1+旧护照复印件1)
2、行程单(原件1);
机票(原件1);
酒店订单(原件1)
3、在读证明(原件1+翻译件1)
毕业证(复印件1+翻译件1)
4、银行流水(复印件1+翻译件1)
亲属关系公证(复印件1+翻译件1)
5、户口簿(复印件1+翻译件1)
6、房产证(复印件1+翻译件1)
注:不知为何孩子也要提交房产证明?因为银行流水是我的,房产证是老婆的名字,所以提交了亲属关系证明作为辅助。
从Checklist上看,两个人的申请都要求提交行程单和往返机票,而且在后来我们入境的时候,入境审查官也要求出示回程机票和酒店订单,是不是说明现在对机票和酒店订单的要求严格了呢?
我们是广州送签,早上9点出门,下午3点才办完,5点才回到家。签证中心的工作人员态度也不错,也没什么不合理的要求,就是有点慢,但是感觉下午要比上午快很多,不知为何?我们办理了短信通知和快递服务,但是一直没有收到短信,一直到6月24日,突然收到了邮件通知,当天就能查到快件了,两份是分开寄的,第二天收到。 |
