Hi all, While searching on internet for information about filling tax returns when travelling on Tier 1, I came across various links where it mentions "A resident Indian proceeding overseas for employment has to apply for an Income Tax Clearance Certificate on Form 31, as per Section 230 (I)" Source...

Hi all,

I am traveling to UK shortly on Tier 1 visa. I am exploring Travel Insurance providers (e.g. TATA AIG, Bajaj Allainz, HDFC etc). Do you have any recommendation? Or maybe Insurance providers to avoid?

push_hsmp, thank you for the reply. So if I understand correctly, it's more about questioning - why so late, why now etc. It is not like - "your visa is invalid" or "we can't allow you" because you didn't enter within 3 months from date of issue of your visa. As you mentioned, your reply is based on...

Thank you all. I have booked my return Ticket just in case. But I appreciate your replies and hope this information about one way ticket is helpful to other members who may be in similar dilemma.

Hi, I got my Tier 1 visa approved in January 2009. But circumstances changed on personal front because of which I couldn't travel to UK immediately. From what I understand about the entry requirement is that a person can enter the UK any time provided his Visa is valid at that point of time. Has any...

Yes, they asked for Chest X-ray when I went to UK on Work Permit. So I'll carry that.

I hold a UK bank account. I will carry around 300 GBP in cash. Do I need to carry my Latest Bank statements for my UK bank account?

Any other documents members here know of?

Jet Airways provides 40 KGs for people traveling for the first time on Migrant Visa

Emirates has increased their baggage limit from 20 KG to 30 KG for all categories

What documents do I need at the point of entry for Tier 1 apart from Passport, valid Tier1 Visa, Hotel booking? Any common questions being asked?

PS: I have traveled to UK before but on a Work Permit.

Thank you for the quick reply. My question was related to Tier 1, actually I want to know if it would be a problem at immigration if I arrive in UK with one way ticket?

PS: If you feel the question is still not relevant, please let me know or please move it to appropriate thread.

I hold Tier 1 Visa and am planning my travel. I was wondering if it would be OK to get a one way ticket to UK instead of a return ticket? Any advice.

Cheers,
SidSam

Thank you for the reply. The statement I am talking about is indeed sent by bank and has Stamp and sign. But these statement are not on official stationary. They seem to be ordinary printouts on normal paper. Also my prior experience in getting the statements directly from bank is that the official ...

But these are stamped and signed. Would there be any problem if I use these statements for Tier 1? Or should I approac...
