Procedure on how to invite someone from another country to united kingdom?

Answer 1

Depends what you mean by 'invite'.

A lot of people from Africa and Asia when they use the term 'invite' mean 'move permenantly'. Whenever I'm over there people ask me to 'invite' them to the UK meaning they want me to help them get residency status.

If that's the case then the person in question needs to apply in person to the British Embassy or Consul in their country of residence. If they're wanting to move to the UK they'll have to demonstrate that they have a suitable place to live and can support themselves financially.

If by 'invite' you mean visit then they just need a valid passport and, depending which country they're coming from, they may need a visa as well.

I'm going to hazard a guess that the person in question is from Africa. When they ask 'will you invite me' what they mean is 'can I visit'

Answer 2

To be able to invite someone to the U.K you need to prove that you can support them financially and that you have somewhere for them to live.
You need to either own your own home or have the minimum of £20,000 in the bank for at least 6 months.

You will be responsible for the person you bring over so you need to prove you can do that.

The person you are inviting needs to go to the embassy and get the application form, you will need to send him the required paperwork (the application form will tell you what is required) then it's just a case of waiting to see if the application is successfull or not.
