I am about to submit my initial Tier 1 Entrepreneurial visa application. I am going from a Tier 1 Post Study visa to a Tier 1 Entrepreneurial.

My question is do I need to provide documentary evidence that I am registered with HMRC "as a director or as self-employed"?

I know you do with a Tier 1 Entrepreneurial extension visa, but it's not really clear if you need to provide documentary evidence of being self-employed from the HMRC for your first Tier 1 Entrepreneurial visa.

Here it seems to look like you don't if it's the initial application: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... documents/

But in the PDF (on page 9) it says "Registered with HM Revenue and Customs as self-employed; or registered as a director -- You must have been registered as self-employed or a director of a business within the last 3 months before submitting your application as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur)." http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... dance1.pdf

Can someone who has gone the T1 PSW visa to the T1 Entrepreneurial visa please chime in and let me know if you needed to supply evidence of being registered as self-employed?
