Visitor Visa (Sponsored)

Yes you should.

I might be overthinking.. lol. You think the ECO will contact my boss directly about my leaves and not the HR, right? Since the letter is from my boss anyway. Thanks.

I did not submit any approve leaves letter from my company, but I submitted a reserve ticket I booked online that I'll be in the UK for only 4 weeks. Also I submitted a COE and payslips for proof of ties in the Philippines.

Can you not provide your bosses letter of permission , and give his/her direct phone number ,so they call them to confirm ?

The letter from my boss includes her cellphone number and company email address. Will that be good to go? Maybe I'm just really overthinking it.. i'm only worried the ECO will ask the HR about it instead. Since I will also submit a COE from the HR.

Thanks. I'm just thinking if I should still include my boss' approved letter.

You can if you have one. I worked for a big company before and my boss don't have time to write me a letter about my approved leaves.
Our HR before gave me a COE and that's it. What I did on my part since I don't have any approved leaves is that I wrote on my cover letter that I have 15 days VL per year and I haven't used any, it's just me who told them everything and again NO LETTER from my boss or HR. I guess it is a case to case basis. BTW my company is from Europe they have an offshore office in PH.

Has anyone written a sponsor letter for someone who is not a GF/BF? I need to write one for one of our friends in Cayman who is stopping over on her way back to Phil. Unfortunately she has already filled the form on line out and said she is staying for 6 weeks or so.

an applicant doesnt need a sponsor for a visit visa. if they can prove sufficient funds to cover their stay--flights--accommodation--food--sightseeing.........and also prove genuine need and reason to return home at the end of the visit period.
