Just finished up working here on a WP and BOI visa for the last 26 months. I want to return to have a holiday, ship and sell some stuff. I have thoughts about a trip back to the UK (from there) to get a METV but just seen this requirement 'If employed, a letter from employer confirming that you are employed by them.
or
If self-employed, copy of your HMRC SA100 or SA105 Self Assessment Tax Form for the latest tax year.
or
If retired (at any age) and receiving a State or Private Pension, confirmation of receiving such pension by providing a copy of the Pension Statement or similar which must bear the applicant’s name and address'.
I am not employed anymore, don't pay UK tax or retired. Anyway round this?
