AFAIK, if your father doesn't return before the bridging visa b expires, the visa application will be invalid. Why is he unfit to travel? If being at altitude would put his life in danger, then of course he can't travel. However, even very frail parents can travel if you fly back to accompany him, and you book a wheelchair to get him on and off the flight.

If his doctor had advised he is unfit to travel then he can not take out travel insurance and should not board an aircraft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true IF he is genuinely unfit to travel. It's worth questioning. While my sister was visiting Australia, she ended up in hospital, and the doctors advised her she was unfit to travel. However when my sister explained she wasn't Australian and her home was in the UK, the doctors reconsidered their opinion. In fact they were very helpful in preparing her for the trip, and she got home safely. Edited September 8 by Marisawright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Respectfully ... why are you asking this question on a forum, and are not engaging with a registered migration agent? Best regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
