Hello

I am applying for a visitor visa for my parents. Have few doubts which I am sure some of you can help me clarify

1. Do we need to print, sign and scan 5645 family information form? because online visa instruction states you need not to sign application form, but they did not mention is it for all the forms or only for the main application form with barcodes?

2. use of family member for online application

I am their family member representative. Does anyone know for the form 5713E and 5476E, (one is Use of Representative, the other one is use of family member representative), do i need to sign my name before uploading the file? or just leave it blank like other forms e.g. 5257E until the last transmission for online digital signature? also for form 5713E, it's confusing. do i need to write my name for representative or one of parent's name because it says the form is used for all the family members who want to apply online together need to fill out this form?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Looking forward for the response.

The application form is only one, 5645, so that one should not be altered in any way.

All others are not application forms, so they need to be signed.

You are overthinking.

- It is form IMM5713E.
- Yes you do need to sign it (you are the representative).
- IMM5257E is a different form (it is the application form)
- IMM5713E sextion B, all but you.

Please read carefully and think of it. It is quite clear if you follow the instructions without trying to find secret meanings.

I need an advise. Im planning to apply my mom for tourist visa online, there is an IMM 5257B-Schedule 1 form on optional document below. Does she need to fill that up? Is she considered as a principal applicant when applying only as a tourist?

Optional documents are that, optional... they make the application stronger, but are not needed.

The TRV is an APPLICATION, so she is an APPLICANT.... and unless there are more people in her application and those people are the ones handling the application then she is the PRINCIPAL applicant by default.
