Certificate of sponsorship
A certificate of sponsorship holds your personal details and information about the job you바카라 사이트™ve been offered. It바카라 사이트™s an electronic record, not a paper document. Your sponsor will give you a certificate of sponsorship reference number to add to your application.
You can only use your certificate of sponsorship reference number once. You must use it within 3 months of getting it.
Money to support yourself
You must have at least £1,270 in your bank account to show you can support yourself in the UK.
You will need to have had the money available for at least 28 days in a row. Day 28 must be within 31 days of applying for this visa.
You바카라 사이트™ll usually need to show proof of this when you apply, unless either:
- you바카라 사이트™ve been in the UK with a valid visa for at least 12 months
- your employer can cover your costs during your first month in the UK, up to £1,270
Your partner and children will also need to prove they can support themselves while they바카라 사이트™re in the UK. Check how much they바카라 사이트™ll need.
Read the guidance on financial evidence for more information about the money you need and how to prove it.
If your employer can support you instead
Your certificate of sponsorship must confirm this. Your employer will need to complete the 바카라 사이트˜sponsor certifies maintenance바카라 사이트™ section on your certificate. This is under 바카라 사이트˜Additional data바카라 사이트™.
