Document Samples for UK Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visas

Post by riyazahmd » Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:39 pm

Hi,

I am planning apply for UK Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa on this month. I knew that the following Documents are needed along with the application form.

1) Bank Statement of the investing party
2) Letter from the bank confirming the fund is transferable.
3) Letter from the investing party with notary attestation.

Could you please let me know if this information is correct?

Also I am looking for some sample documents to make sure my documents are correct. I will be highly thankful if anyone can help regarding the sample documents.

If there is any other thread about the same subject could you please provide a link?

Thanks!
riz.

Hi thebestone,

I am planning to apply from inside UK. I have kept the maintenance fund of 900 pounds for 3 months with a bank in the UK.

Thanks, I have got two samples (Formats for bank letter and third party letter) from UKBA website!

My company sponsors are located in the UAE. I still does not have a clear idea about notary attestation of the documents. Does it need any additional documents (other than bank statement, bank letter and third party letter) for the application?

It would be better if I can see any sample documents.

Many thanks.

yes you need a letter from a legal representative confirming the validity of signatures of yours and third party on third-party letter.

What I have seen in policy guideline, it says that funds in UK should be on your own name. So no more third party from UK.

Or instead of showing funds already in UK, u can show them abroad and get other third party letters and apply.

Hi saeedusman,

Thank you. The investors are now in the UAE but I am still in the UK. The bank with their account is also in the UAE. My plan is, so, to apply with the documents provided from the UAE.

Is it necessary to notarize my signature along with the investor's signature? It would be highly helpful if I can see any sample letter from the legal representative confirming the validity of signatures.

Thanks again.

2) This one is available in the last page of UKBA guidelines


CONFIDENTIAL

For the attention of the UK Border Agency

In regards to the application of Mr/Mrs/Ms [Name] for Entrepreneur status in the United Kingdom:

I have the consent of [name] to share these findings with the Agency. I will confirm the contents of this letter to the Agency at their request.

Or, the applicant has agreed to form an entrepreneurial team with [name] and has the following amount of money IN THEIR OWN NAMES available for investment in a business in the United Kingdom [£ ] if applicable.

This institution is regulated by the FSA [state form of registration]

Name and contact details of the Author of this document

=================================================

The first letter does not contain any clue about visa applicants.

But, the second letter (which i found from the UKBA guidelines document) states visa applicants' names in the document. If we are depending a third party investor, do we have to show our names in this bank letter? Can I prefer the first format if the bank is not ready to issue a letter with our names?

Kindly help!

Please bear one thing in mind uk border agency can object if you are not meeting their requirements, even one minor mistake can lead your application to refusal.

So to be at safe side try to get the letter according to ukba specified format.

Have a look on this link

I think so yes, it will be necessary to notarize your signature.
Better re check the policy guideline just to avoid any confusion.

Dear acc25tax,

No need to attach a letter from the advocate or solicitor. UKBA has clarified that they require the following certain matters clarified in the bank letter.

1) Name and contact details of account holder and available amount
2) The fund is transferable to UK
3)The bank is regulated regulated by the FSA or central bank.
4) Name and address of the bank

The format of the letter can be varied but, the content must be something reflecting the above matters.

Additionally, we are discussing about including applicant's name in the bank letter (see the above reply by thebestone). However this part is not clarified, as most banks will be hesitant to add that clause in the letter.
