Alanlisa Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Might try a statement and get it signed by a notary here and see how we get on [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Might try a statement and get it signed by a notary here and see how we get on [emoji16] Worth a go I reckon, but doesn't have to be witnessed by anyone. I made a statement about a separate matter with only my signature and it was accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainC Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 So if we upload both fingers crossed we'll be good If I was a betting man I'd say yes you'll be fine. Don't forget that 1023 though as presumably the statement regarding the group of people involved would contradict the question about associations.

Yes, most likely. They generally (I think) ask for a stat dec if there is a problem obtaining a PCC for a country (this was what I needed one for) or there is little or no information to corroborate a claim of good character. The stat dec can be used as a tool to cancel a visa as it is, as the name suggests, a true declaration of something. It's pretty much the same as an oath that you'd say in a court of law, for example. If it is subsequently found to be a false declaration then you could be prosecuted, fined or imprisoned, and the visa cancelled, and as such aren't to be taken lightly. In general they should only be provided to the department if they ask for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
