I was recently approved in London, remote working. All straightforward. I was asked for an employment contract which I don’t have, but I attached an explanatory letter instead of the contract and it was approved very quickly. They responded within two days when I added new info onto the system.

What information did you provide in the letter? Are you self employed or employed?Stephen ********
@Dominic **********
I confirmed that I’m a Co-owner of a two man ltd company, my role in the business, how I take remuneration and that I can work remotely. I also provided a letter from the business (signed by my Co owner) confirming the same. They then asked for a copy of our certificate of incorporation. They responded within a day or two each time and seemed happy with sensible explanations. At no point did they send obstructive. Good luckRonnie ***********
OPNice one. Good to hear

Not recently, but I applied at London for remote worker and processing was very thorough and the proofs requested were extensive. It was no easy task. Though if requirements are met it should pay dividend.

OPJust sent a message mate if you don't mind

Which have you applied on? They reckon Remote working takes longer than Soft Power because of more checks I presume.

OPremote working

@Ronnie **********
ok, I think they probably scrutinise more on remote working, although I believe some Embassies are getting a bit particular now about the Soft Power route.Ronnie ***********
