Unfortunately, the occupation has been removed from the list after the mining industry downturn.
The only hope is if you see an employer to sponsor you provided you have skill set that cannot be sourced locally.

Thanks, bellong!

What is wrong with these useless agents sef?

belLong, it's like there is nothing for Geophysicist here.
Has any Geophysicist been assessed by VETASSESS?

The only way to proof your actually age is having a birth certificate or declaration of age document. You do not need to remember the passport number just supply as much information as you can remember. Yes you need to mention that you were misleaded about your age information as you had used an agent at that time.

Thanks once again!

Your previous application data and passport data are kept with UKVI forever! You have two hurdles to overcome. One your misrepresentation of your age and two your previous passport containing the refusal stamp.

If you used the old application form, you may not disclosed your refusal of 2006 as it is over 12 years in 2018. If you used the new application form you are required to disclosed any previous refusals, no time limit.

You are also required to provide information on all passport previously held, ie the passport number, date of issue and expiration. So if you provide false information like the passport is missing or you do not have any previous passport will be equated to non disclosure of material evidences or lying. The UKVI only need to do a name search and your previous passport data will pop up on the system.

So I will advise that you bring all your cards to the table and disclose to ECO that you where refused in 2006 in a cover letter. It is left for the ECO to evaluate your honesty vis a vis your new purpose for a visa into the UK.

Thanks for your response. Do you also agree that after stating that I was denied a visa in 2006, I should also state the incorrect age on the passport that I got the denial stamp? I can't remember the passport number.

I think there's no where you are asked in that form about your application that is older than 10 years, I should be corrected if I'm wrong sha. Why open closed matters when you are not asked? I do not think it's a goodbye yet sha, unless you are asked questions related to that on the form and you lie about your answer, no need, I think that is when it is of necessity for you to do that explanation you intend doing.

Thanks for your response.
I still need more responses.

Dear All,

Should I kiss UK goodbye?

I was denied a student visa in 2006. The guy that helped me to process my visa told me to increase my age when I wanted to acquire my first international passport. In spite of this, I was still denied the visa..."every unrighteousness is a sin". I have never blamed this guy, and will never blame him. I will take all the blames.
I have not applied to the UK embassy for any visa since then. My friend that did same got banned for 10 years. He denied ever applied to the embassy for visa not knowing that they kept his details in their system. As at that time, there was nothing like biometrics.
I have gotten two different passports after that time with my correct age and I have 4 used and 1 unused visas from other countries. I have been invited to the UK several times, but the fear of being banned won't let me apply.
Now, I want to apply for a visiting visa, and I want to write a statement that I was denied a student visa in 2006 with an incorrect age (the passport is long missing).
Would I still be banned for 10 years?
Should I just forget about visiting UK?
What is the appropriate thing to do?

Funny people.
