Rocky Junior Member Member # 3630	Posted March 21, 2003 07:54 PM Hi, I got my Spouse visa on the 5th of March 03. I have to join my employer in the UK on the 3rd of April 03 I have a few questions 1)Do I have to apply for a National Insurance number before I join the employer. 2)How do I apply for a NI number. 3)Is there anyting else I need to apply for when I go to the UK.
marka Member Member # 1907	Posted March 21, 2003 10:52 PM You don't have to have an NI number. The Inland Revenue will give you a temporary number, but you will be on emergency tax until you sort out a permanent number. To get a permanent number you will need a letter from your employer. I think the DSS is where you apply. As long as you can present you passport with the correct stamp authorising work then you can start work. Mark
Hamid Minhas Junior Member Member # 6857	Posted March 24, 2003 11:17 AM Thanks Marka: No Rocky, you would not need an NI number to start your employment...the company that you will work for will assign you a temporary NI number....However, once you are all settled, then call your local DSS office to arrange for an interview for your NI number (use the internet to do a search or call enquiries - or contact citizens advice bureau (sp???) to get their number)....for your interview at DSS you will need your passoprt and utility bills with your name on it...etc. Good Luck
