When applying for a Tier 5 UK visa, you have to avoid these common mistakes:
- You mustn’t choose the wrong start date for your UK visa. Every UK visa has an application window. For example, a Tier 5 visa can be applied for only 6 months in advance. In this period, you will have to surrender your passport for visa application processing and won’t be able to make any overseas trips.
- It’s necessary that your passport has at least a 6-month validity at the time of entering the UK. If you apply for a UK visa and your passport turns out to not have the required validity, your visa application will be rejected.
- Don’t apply for a new passport after you have started the visa application process or a UK visa has been granted to you on the existing passport.
- If you have a travel plan don’t choose your visa start date such that it falls before the travel plan date.
- Don’t use a UK address that isn’t the address where you are going to be living once you reach the UK. If you do so, it will affect the collection of your Biometric Residence Permit after arriving in the UK.
- Don’t present proof of funds with a bank balance under the required amount, even by 1 pound.
Do not miss your Biometric appointment.
