| Jun 16, 2021 at 16:25 | comment | added | Tim | @paulgarrett it also sounds like an entirely normal long distance relationship. If it is a scam, it’s a remarkable long con! While it’s sensible to warn people that things could be a scam, we probably shouldn’t just start jumping to conclusions! | |

| Jun 16, 2021 at 8:06 | comment | added | user120424 | I am going to be truthful about my visit to the UK, I'm asking help on how I can make the truth work. We are both South African citizens, I know where his father in South Africa live and I have had contact with him.I speak to his mother on call and on messages, She lives in the UK as well.We video daily so I know he is who he says he is. When we started talking online we never meant to fall involve that is crazy, we haven't met and I was still is South Africa so that is the "1000 miles" sir. but here we are. We want to continue the relationship but we need to meet first and spend some time tog | |

| Jun 15, 2021 at 17:19 | comment | added | Tim | @RichardBeasley “in a relationship for over a year” would indicate no, it was April 2020. It’s common that one would say “I went on holiday in April” - meaning the most recent April, vs “I went on holiday last April” meaning the April before the most recent! | |

| Jun 15, 2021 at 15:28 | comment | added | Richard Beasley | By 'last April' I assume you mean April 2021. Are you sure your boyfriend is who he says he is? Has he ever asked you to send him money? Has he suggested travelling somewhere to meet you, rather than you going to meet him? Even if he is stationed in the north of Scotland, he is still not a 1,000 miles away from the Netherlands. Sorry to put a damper on this, but there are some unscrupulous people out there. | |

| Jun 15, 2021 at 15:09 | comment | added | user120424 | thank you very much I also feel better being able to be honest about it, if they won't give me the visa he will just have to take off and visit me instead. | |

| Jun 15, 2021 at 8:13 | comment | added | Traveller | Telling the truth is always best. If you’re going to be staying in his grandparent’s house during your visit you will have to explain the connection anyway. I suggest you read the relevant sections of this official guidance assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/… and review the questions here travel.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4347/…, then edit your question if you need further help on a specific topic. | |
