For self-employed individuals applying for a UK visa, providing comprehensive documentation is key
For self-employed individuals applying for a UK visa, providing comprehensive documentation is key. Submit bank statements (6 months) showing movement on savings and primary accounts, your self-employment registration, property deeds, previous travel bookings (to show ties to your home country), and proof of event attendance (e.g., concert tickets) to demonstrate travel patterns and intent. A detailed cover letter explaining your income sources (especially irregular transfers) and travel purpose is crucial. If previously refused, reapply after improving your financial situation or addressing the specific refusal reasons.
When applying for a UK visa, there is no strict requirement to provide a 2-NDFL (Russian tax) form
When applying for a UK visa, there is no strict requirement to provide a 2-NDFL (Russian tax) form. If an applicant has specific one-time income (like a mortgage interest compensation from an employer) that looks like salary but is not reflected in the 2-NDFL, it is better to request a separate official letter from the employer confirming the nature, date, and amount of this specific payment rather than submitting an inconsistent tax report.
