Hi, my daughter has a work permit to work in London. My husbnd and myself, being her parents would like to visit and hope to stay with her for 2 months. While there, i wish to do a short course of study. Can we just go on a tourist visa. We could show proof of funds from our local banker. Your advice is greatly appreciated. We will be leaving in mid Nov.

 

hi, Triple H,

1.We are Singaporeans.
2.Are dependant's visa meant for parents as well as for children of the work permit holder? For your information, work permit holder in this case is a single.

 

hi Triple H,

Thank you for your reply. However i need clarification on the following:

1. Are you saying that even with just a tourist visa I could sign up for a short course of study at any college? At this point in time my seach for courses have indicated a course that i might want to do, which is a part-time evening course at the City Iniversity in London).

2. Since the courses are held in the evenings, Is it illegal if i give private tuition in Chinese Language during the day when i have the time.
(bearing in mind that i will be on a tourist visa.)

3. Is it possible for me to get a dependant's visa since my daughter (single) is on a permanent position with the firm in London.


Thanks again for your advice.

 

oops, it's City University, London.

 

Thank you triple H,

The web site you mentioned above states that
while on a visit visa, i could sign up for short courses.

So does that mean that i could apply to do short courses run by a government -funded college, university or adult education centre.

I am very thankful for your help.
