Carl’s Journey
Carl, a seasoned traveler and successful business owner from the Philippines, dreamed of returning to the United Kingdom to celebrate his birthday and explore more of the country’s rich culture. His plan? Apply for a 10-year multiple-entry UK tourist visa.
Despite having already visited the UK in the past, Carl faced a few challenges:
He had no family ties in the UK, which is a common concern for long-term visit visas.
He had experienced visa refusals from major countries, including Canada, the USA, and Australia.
And this time, he was applying from Brazil while traveling—an unusual situation that required extra care in presenting his case.
But Carl was determined and committed to showing his strong ties to the Philippines, his financial stability, and his travel integrity.
In Carl’s Words
“Thank you maam Yvette for processing another successful visa,pang 5-6x ko na ata tong visa na pagpa assist sau na laging pasok,but this time ang diko inexpect is ma approved ng 10 Years Multiple kahit wala akong family member sa UK,iba ka tlaga ! The best sa cover letters and all! Thank you ulit and hopefully US naman ☺🫶🏼”
