METV questions.
When I last applied for an METV we sent passports off and had the 6 month multiple entry visa added to our passports. However I have read that it’s no longer added to the passport as it’s all done online. I’ve read the requirements but can’t find the application form or online portal. I’m applying in the UK. Please could someone enlighten me.
Myself and my wife have taken early retirement and can show proof of residency in the UK and proof of funds, but no longer have employment proof. How do we deal with this on the application?
Thank you
