Why is this, do embassy's not consider this a valid form of visa or is it that they just refuse to stamp it? Hi Swish, I only tried French Embassy in London, according to th...

I feel that the contract is illegal
I suspect that it is not so much illegal, but as already pointed out, unenforceable. That is, if they tried to sue you in Court for the money, they would lose.

Thanks for the notes, everyone!

UK Work Permit related- Illegal contract?

Hi everyone, I just resigned from the previous company who offered me work permit 2 years ago. Currantly, they are not happy that I left the company, and they demands a large amount of penalty from me. Simply because when I started to work for the company, they asked me to sign a contract with some ...

Afterwards, Home Office issued a paper with visa endorsement, called Immegration Status Documents seperately. Q...
