Hello house, hope you're all fine and enjoying your valentines day, I have two questions that I hope justwise or vicjustice will respond to me

1) is Bank reference letter that important to put in a Tourist visa application?

2) my business is registered in less than a year ago, I'm yet to start paying tax, hence I don't have a tax clearance certificate but I have a tax identification number certificate, would the absence of TAC be a problem? Thank you, have a nice day all.

Vicjustice:

1) Though, it may be valuable, but it is not a requirement especially when the bank statement is comprehensive on its own.
2) It would be near impossible to get a visa (as a business owner) using your business documents without tax certificate because, in the absence of such, the Visa Officer will not be able to evaluate your business and to decide whether or not it satisfied the requirements.

Thanks Vicjustice for the respond, what do you suggest now? I should wait until I start paying tax? Or I should pay tax arrears and obtain the Tax Certificate? Pls I need an advice, thanks

Apart from your business account do you have savings or current account where your profits from the business goes?

Yes Mr Wise, I have a personal saving where I save part of my profit but not all of it because sometimes I reinvest my profit in to my business to strengthen it but like I said earlier I use to deposit 200k every month into my personal saving.

By law are you expected to pay tax for a business running less than a year? If yes then do that else get an account to evaluate your business and attach the document to your visa application.

Justwise, hope you won't get fed up if I sayi didn't understand your explanation but I didn't, tax is paid annually for business owners, my business is running for over 3 years but is registered in last January., na to pay tax arrears for 3 years and get the tax clearance be that or just pretend in my visa application that my business started running as of the date it shows in CAC certificate which is 25 January 2015. I'm confuse mehn! Need your help, and if I put the tax clearance of 3 years back and my cac certificate shows that my business is registered in 25 January 2015 wouldn't that arise suspicion

Hello House,

@justwise @Vicjustice, i was granted a UK business visa last year for a business trip from Dec 1-5 which i ended up missing because my passport came back late to Teleperformance. I intend to use the same visa to visit family in the uk for 2 weeks.

My Question is Do i still tell them at the uk border that its a business trip or do i go ahead and say im visiting family even though its a business visa?

Thanks

This House played a major role in my getting the business visa in the first place.

Vicjustice said earlier in this thread that a business or Company must be registered for over a year before one can apply for visit visa with it, I hope the system changes because by the time I'll apply for my visit visa my company/business registration is 6-7 months Old, but was running the business for over 3 years.
