As the guidance on referees clearly states, your professional referee can be of any nationality.tzima wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 7:01 pmHi,
I am also a EU citizen, not finding a willing professional referee in the UK. Did anybody end up using a non UK-resident referee? Was it accepted?
Reading the AN guide, it looks like they would only accept it if we (applicant) are not living in the UK. And it would require the involvement of the Consulate. But browsing Internet Forums, it looks like opinions are divided and some people didn't have any problem with a non-resident referee.
Does anybody know for sure?
Page 11 of the AN guide says:
"If you are living abroad and do not know a British citizen who is qualified to act as one of your referees, a Commonwealth citizen or citizen of the country in which you are residing may complete and sign the form, provided they have professional standing in that country, has known you for 3 years and the Consul considers their signature to be acceptable."
