Hello Everyone,
Even i will be applying next week and was wondering if I need an account to be one of the referrer's or can i ask my friends - one of them is Director of his ltd company and one is an IT professional - both holding British passports for more than 2 years? Please advise if this will be fine or not?
As per the AN form:
One referee should be a person of any nationality who has
professional standing, eg minister of religion, civil servant, or a member of a professional body e.g. accountant or solicitor (who is not representing you with this application). The other referee must normally be the holder of a British citizen passport and either a professional person or over the age of 25.
Looking at this link:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... ersons.pdf
confirms that my friend who is Director of Ltd company can do the signature.
And this link:

Also talks about something similar....please advise

I think I got my answer unless someone has any other opinion:
From AN Guide:
Your application must be endorsed by two referees.
One referee should be a person of any nationality who has professional standing,
such as a minister of religion, civil servant or a member of a professional body, e.g.
accountant or solicitor (but not representing you with this application).
The clue was here which I missed:
A list of
acceptable professional persons can be found on our website.
Here is the link previously posted by me:

So I am good with both of my options as far as I what i can understand
