Question

I need to apply for a working visa in the uk.I am from South Africa. What supporting documents will I need?

Answer 1

Two picture ID's  for Example: A driver's license, and A birth certificate.

Proof of immunizations shots. Or doctor records proving you've had them.

A good set of finger-prints, which can usually be obtained by your local government  or police station.

Some Money or Traveler's Checks,,,enough to live on for a period of oh say,,, 6 months,,,,,or so..... till you see how the job goes.  A couple of Picture ID Credit cards,,,,,,

Proof of any medical insurance,,,,or a medical card....which shows your ins. agent's name and address.

A working "Dell Lap Top" !!!  A must.

A pre-paid phone card, till your able to get a cell phone.

A social security number.  

That's just to name a few, I'm sure there is more stuff. That's just all I can personally think of.

Oh yeah, and if your flying,,,, do not take a pocket knife, razor, or any other sharp instrument....just plan on purchasing those items once your in the UK.....

Good Luck

Answer 3

The best thing to do is to get one of those agency people to help you.  If you can't afford them, here's a few documents I can remember I had to give:

3 month's bank statements & the last month's statement that your giving must reflect that you have between R 15 000 & R 25 000 in your account.

3 month's payslips if you are employed

A letter from your employer stating the time period that you worked there.

If a family member is going to give you the money, they have to write a letter stating that they are giving it to you as a gift.

You have to have proof that you will have medical & travel insurance in the UK.

Give a detailed itinerary of where you plan on going while you're there.

It helps if you include a provisional airline ticket booking that shows when you plan on returning.

2 ID photos in full colour

A South African passport that's valid for the whole time you plan on staying in the UK.

Go to www.britishvisas.org or www.britain.org to see the rest.  It costs around R 3000 at the moment.  Good luck.
