Overseas Representative visa ILR

Post by kikkii » Tue May 06, 2025 9:19 am

I'm working on my ILR application for the UK Overseas Representative visa, and I was watching a YouTube video where a lawyer said a lot of people are getting refused because of this rule — ROB 16A.3, which states:

"The applicant must provide all of the following:
(a) evidence of business that has been generated, principally with firms in the UK, on behalf of their employer since their last grant of permission"

Can someone explain exactly what they’re looking for here? And what kind of documents should I upload to make sure I meet this requirement?

The official guide tells you what needs to be sent:
Documents required for settlement applications
If an applicant has, or last had, permission as a representative of an overseas business and is applying for settlement as either a Sole Representative or a Media Representative, they must provide:

•evidence of salary paid by the employer in the 12 months immediately before the date of application and details of the renumeration package the employee receives
•a letter from their employer confirming that they still require the applicant to work for them, and that the applicant will be required for the foreseeable future

If applying as a Sole Representative, the employee must also provide additional evidence about the branch or subsidiary they have established.

They must provide:

•evidence of business that has been generated, principally with firms in the UK, on behalf of their employer since their last grant of permission, in the form of accounts, copies of invoices or letters from businesses with whom the applicant has done business, including the value of transactions
•either a copy of the share register or a letter from the overseas business’s accountant confirming that the UK business is wholly owned by the overseas business
•a letter from the applicant’s employer confirming that the applicant has supervised the UK branch or subsidiary since the last grant of permission
