Retired parent

[Rasha12]

Hi, my father is retired and wants to visit me with my mother who’s already had a visa and came to visit me 3 times,
I’m applying for my father but I don’t know to write (yes) or (no) in the field ( do you have a job) at the very beginning of the application. Is he considered not having a job?
I mean he’s receiving a retirement so he’s not unemployed,
and what documents do I need to provide to reinforce his application

Others can comment and how you answer the question is your decision but in most countries someone who is retired is no longer in employment they have a status of retired. You could argue they are not really unemployed as that sort of implies they are looking for employment to be employed again, they are retired no longer looking for employment although many retirees might consider being retired is a job in itself but it is not really even if they are being paid a pension.
