Applying for a UK visa with accommodation provided by a friend does not necessarily classify them as a financial sponsor
Applying for a UK visa with accommodation provided by a friend does not necessarily classify them as a financial sponsor. If the applicant pays for their own travel, answer 'No' to the sponsorship question. However, provide: 1) A formal invitation letter. 2) Proof of the friend's residence (utility bills, lease agreement). 3) Evidence of the relationship (photos, old contact records) to prevent suspicions of fraud.
