I am not an expert on TRV's at all but I am pretty sure anyone can apply for a TRV but from what others have said, you have to make sure you have ties to your country before they will approve it. By that I mean, a job to come back to, a home, money in the bank etc....

Does anyone know of a non-dependant child getting a TRV? (Example.. Niece or nephew)

Thanks.
They CAN get a TRV but it would have to be on their own merits. The only thing you could actually do for them is provide them with an invitation letter. all else must be proven by them. i.e. a job letter, clearly stating return date, enough money in the bank to show that they can cover their expenses for the trip, tiltles to cars, homes, busniess .. what not, ... anything to convince the High commission that they intend to return home becasue that's where their life is .....

Thanks Chickie, but I guess what I really wanted to know is... What are the chances for a child to get a visitor visa. I just don't know anyone who has known a child alone to get it, if they do they are usually coming with a family member.

Thanks His_wife. We've already applied for our niece but she's only 12. We provided them with her ties to JA. Has anyone ever heard of a child alone getting a TRV?

The child can get one only if the parents are eligible for one. They can't really access the child's ties to the country and so they do it depending on the parent. When I applied for one back in days in Ja.. They denied me on the basis that my mom does not meet the eligiblity criteria.

I've heard of it only in instances where one/both parents already had a TRV

Oh sorry....i wasn't thinking of a child when I answered you and as you see, i said i don't know much about TRV, i am glad His_wife was able to help answer some of your questions though.

Blessings and praying we all hear something from Kingston soon!
