    Hello Oto, Good job and thank you so much for this helpful tips,
    I have a UK interview coming up next week for tourist visa for visiting family and friends but my major concern is that my bank statement won’t tarry with the information I filled out in my application!!!
    The thing is that I actually work and earn monthly but this payments of my salary isn’t paid into our accounts but given to each workers at the end of the month!!
    And what I’m having in my bank statement for 6months is way too higher than what I actually filled that I earned monthly!!!
    Although my boyfriend is the one sponsoring the whole trip, do you think this is something I need to worry about? Any advice?

      No, it is not necessary to have one.
      Whether it helps or not will depend on the circumstances. Personally, I avoid invitation letters. But if you have a close family member that you will be staying with, or you are sponsored, or you have been invited for a specific purpose etc., it may help.

    Thanks dear for that wonderful insight. My question is if I intend to stay may be after the conference but then I have a return ticket. How do u handle that?. Can they look for you after the conference and deport you or you look for a colleague to stay with

    • @thewakaholic
      @thewakaholic  Před 2 lety

      If your stay does not exceed the period granted to you at the point of entry (usually 6months for US/UK long term visas) then you are good. You are allowed to extend your stay beyond the conference.
      If you violate the terms of the visa granted to you, it may be difficult to obtain another one the next time you apply.

      No. You need to show evidence of your business registration. If you have other partners or a Board, have them write an introduction letter on your behalf.
      The introduction letter would state your role in the business/company, and the purpose of your intended trip.
