You can get as far as submitting it and you get the message 'Contact immigration' unless it's changed again? 😂

Didn't somebody post that they actually asked there what was happening in the last day or so and were told they don't accept online 90 day reporting? Mind you, that place changes it's mind like the weather changes on a daily basis.

I've given up believing anything they say anymore as I think they have 225 bosses there

@Tod ********
it was more the simplicity to get it than anything else simply by showing a pension statement

The particular O-A for being over 65 and drawing a state pension is ME 12 month visa and no need to leave the country. Some people use them that visit the UK once a year and simply get another one. You MUST be over 65 and be drawing a state pension though to qualify. It's very simple for those people to get.

Yes got you Tod. My post probably wasn't clear regarding income.

On that note, anybody over 65 and receiving a state pension would be crazy not to apply in London for the O-A simply by showing 2 months pension income to a bank account or there government pension book. I don't believe that option is offered to anybody else anywhere in the world.

Tod, do UK citizens not have to prove income anymore or am I misreading your post?
Ron *******
You first need to get the statement of income from your provider. You then take that to your embassy to verified if your applying outside of the UK.

You don't have to be over 65 but simply receiving a regular and verifiable income.

It might be handy if there was ever a 12 month ED Visa to start with.
Ron *******
Just bare in mind that some UK pension providers can take weeks to issue you a pension income verification letter.

Thanks Tod. To be honest, I never dug too deep into that one. I stopped at the requirement of needing to sit in front of some panel telling them what I had to offer 😂
