Nov 10, 2014 at 21:30 comment added A E @GayotFow: contacting them and asking just seemed like an obvious first step to me. Still does.
Nov 10, 2014 at 21:25 comment added Gayot Fow @Relaxed, yes, you are correct. The most they will do is tell him 'you need a visa' and give him the link. The link you gave (travel.stackexchange.com/questions/35418/…) remains the best until the next election and possibly beyond!
Nov 10, 2014 at 21:22 comment added A E No @Relaxed, I've never needed to apply for a UK visa because I am a UK citizen. I've spent plenty of time dealing with British government bureaucracy of various kinds though, e.g. applying for a passport. I'm suggesting contacting them by email because the call centres can be so awful (e.g. see your link) and because it's free to email them. I agree that my advice - to contact them and ask - seems rather obvious, but OP seems not have realised that it was possible. I was being patient with him/her.

correct link
Nov 10, 2014 at 21:16 comment added Relaxed Obviously but what I meant is did you have an occasion to contact the UK authorities with a visa problem of your own before? If it's based on personal experience and it worked out for you, it could be valuable answer but if you just suggested it because you saw a link somewhere on the website, then I don't think it's very useful.
Nov 10, 2014 at 21:13 comment added A E @Relaxed, I went through the form until I got to the part where you type in your name, email address and query, but no, I didn't complete the form on the OP's behalf. For one thing I don't know his/her details, for another I think that would be going a bit beyond the call of duty here.
Nov 10, 2014 at 21:10 comment added Relaxed Did you try it yourself? It does not seem to be very helpful, see travel.stackexchange.com/questions/35418/…
