I applied for my visa on 12 March but received it at the end of May. Can I employ 4 workers for 6 months each? The guidance refers to those who successfully applied before 6 April. Does the date of application have to be before 6 April or should one have received the visa by 6 April? – people who su...

Thank you for your reply. I understand that; however, what I don't get is why money deposited in the account is acceptable as investment if it is a Director's loan, but not if it is deposited as share capital. Why do we have to spend the share capital funds to show investment, but don't have to meet...

"Director’s loans however are permitted to remain in a bank account, provided the loan is not called in. "
So I don't have to spend all the money provided it is a loan, but I must spend any other form of investment before I can extend my visa? What is the logic behind this?

i would suggest make the invoices in the name of business showing u as director on the invoice. make a director's loan agreement for 50K transfer. wages is not investment, its expense.thx If a person injects funds as share capital, loan, etc and uses those funds to pay his employees, I think that d...

But the guidance says you can show direct cash investment on page 40...

I know that investment can be in the form of shares or an unsecured director's loan, but does the entire amount of £200,000 need to be used up by the business in the three years, or can it remain in the business account?

Does anyone have a sample of a Director's Loan contract? Thank you.

I have set up a registered company in the UK after getting my Tier 1 Visa, however I don't yet take out an income. I plan to travel to Hungary this October, but don't have pay slips or any tax documents in my name as it is a new business. I have enough money in my bank account and can get an account...

No, that form is only needed if you are showing funds already invested in the business.

Director's loan agreement?
Are you applying for extension?

The company is a separate legal entity, and is based in the UK. Any money invested in the company will thus be an investment (for the purpose of the visa). Of course, if you're investing in property, the part of the property that is used as living accommodation won't count, as that part is not used ...

Smehmood, First of all, a consultancy can advise people or individuals on not only developing a business plan but also with the process of setting up the business. Many business consultants provide this service. Secondly, if the photographer is self employed, then a company setup isn't necessarily r...

Thanks for the information whiteroses! Do you know what might be the logic behind this rule? This is really disappointing that after hiring the best talent we can not get points just bcoz he is self employed. I'm not sure to be honest. I think that they want to reduce the unemployment numbers and t...

Who told you that you can only show a contract with a company? The policy guidance does not state that the contract must be with another company, as obviously, many businesses primarily provide services to individuals and not other firms.

Why would a self employed person for business will not count? If we are using part time/full time workers on contract they may be acting as self employed for taxation purposes. In fact most of the contractors in UK are self employed, so do you mean you can't use them in your business because it won...

They make a thorough verification of the £200,000 bank statement/letter. I spoke to the bank manager and he told that BHC sends them a different and a more comprehensive DVR form for the £200,000 bank statement.

Thanks. More comprehensive than the DVR form for the 50,000 category?

I've been going through the application form, and I noticed that every document that has to be submitted is listed somewhere on the form, except for proof of advertisements online or in the print media. Is this document(s) no longer required?

Thank you. withdrawing the application means they will not issue me the visa and return the fee. In this case It will be difficult for me to come back as I do want to continue with my business. Lets hope for the best but I must say there is not human rights in this country especially for Non Eu mig...

Hi, I don't know much about these particular problems, but looking at the urgency of your problem, I'll answer with the knowledge I have. If I'm not wrong, even if the account is held in a bank account that is not a joint account, you can get a letter from your financial institution that states that...

Alright guys. its over 6 months now! Stil no bloody news! i rang HO to find out the progress of my application. That lady was a b**** . She was so rude! and very unhelpful! The only info they can provide is whether your application is completed or not! thats all! No time frame no nothing! this is a...

Perhaps you (or your solicitor) should call the UKBA. I think the number is 0870 606 7766.

^^ Yes, the only exception is that the number of hours worked by a self employed person for your business will not count.

till the time the visa has been approved? This question is primarily regarding funds held abroad. There is no mention of the time limit in the guidance, but I been told by people that the funds must be held till the visa is approved, or else the UKBA will reject the application should they verify th...
