Accommodation Proof in UK

[vijaypalrana]

Hi Friends,

Thought of starting a new topic on this. I had a talk with VFS UK Bangalore to know about the documents to be submitted for Tier1 General.

They mentioned one suggested document as the Accommodation Proof in UK. We can submit either of the two documents mentioned below:
1. A No Objection Letter from a friend or relative, along with their Lease or Mortgage papers (copy) & their passport copy.
2. Hotel Booking.

They clearly mentioned that this is only suggested and not mandatory, but the VISA Processing Officer may ask for it. Wanted to know from people who have already filed if they were asked for this document?

Also if somebody submitted a letter from friend can you please share the format of the same.

I had posted this query on the post for September 2008 applicants thread but couldn't get much help so felt like starting a new thread.

I checked the thread for the cover letters and a format for this letter doesn't exist there.

Honestly, this would be the last letter I would like to submit.

This letter is extremely important for visitors & working holiday maker visa and definately not required for Tier 1.

Also, by chance, if you had earlier been to UK in any visa, they would not bother to ask at all.

But that is not a prerequisite that you should've been. Even otherwise it is not mandatory at all.

Hi Vijaypalrana,

I have a couple of questions.

Are you showing Accommodation proof in UK while applying for Entry clearance based on PBS Tier 1?
Do you have any sample for showing Accommodation proof in UK as some friend's or relative's address?
Do you think a fax copy will work?

Hi SunShines007,

The VFS mention this as a suggested document. I myself am looking for a format so its very clear I dont have any sample with me.

Regarding fax copy you can call the VFS and find.

a quick and straight forward way is booking a hotel. u can do that at no cost.
jus a booking confirmation email wud suffice. some of the booking site wont charge u anything until u occupy the room.
