ORIGINAL POSTER

Has anyone been issued an METV visa in the UK recently without having an employment letter from a UK company. I would be able to get an employment letter but not from a UK company. My work situation is a bit complicated just now.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses whether one can apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) in the UK without having an employment letter from a UK company. Comments highlight varying experiences, with some users suggesting that an employment verification is necessary, particularly in self-employment cases, while others mention it may depend on how and where one applies for the visa. There are anecdotal opinions suggesting that not all applicants are asked for a UK employment letter, and alternatives like using a friend's company letter were humorously mentioned.

The UK ask for a letter of employment or as a self employed person, paperwork showing a registered company.

I don't think you have to be employed by a company in the country you're applying in, just that you need to have a passport from there or hold legal permanent residence.
