Hi PomCop, thanks for the reply. Did you send certified copies of your home printed bank statements? It seems a little pointless since they're home printed but I guess it's best not to take any chances. My main concern is that without any tax records, I feel that my evidence of employment all seems a little "samey" (for want of a better word.) With only one period of employment since obtaining my qualification, it feels like I'm submitting the same few documents for each of the five years I worked, with just different dates on... and while it still complies (I think!) with TRA's guidelines of two secondary sources, I can't help but worry when it's such a lot of money to lose if the application is rejected. I guess only time will tell. Still waiting for my employment statement, so I can't submit the application until I get that anyway.

No need for the smart aleck remark; I have already read all the guidelines, I just thought that with this being a forum visited by people who have been through the process, someone may be able to offer some individual advice/reassurance.

Nobody?

Hi everyone... newbie here hoping to get a bit of advice regarding my TRA application. I've been gathering my necessary documents together for my TRA application and I'm getting concerned that the evidence I have to support my paid employment is rather sparse. I have been living and working in Dubai for the past five years... meaning no tax records. All I have are a salary certificate, monthly pay slips, and bank statements showing income deposited. Is this likely to be sufficient? My employment prior to moving to Dubai was not relevant to my nominated occupation. Additionally, my banking is all online, so my bank statements are all home-printed. Is this likely to be a problem? Finally, given that I am applying myself (not using a migration agent,) how do I get documents certified while in the UK? All advice welcome. Thanks
