Skilled worker visa questions

Post by wsub3 » Sat Dec 04, 2021 10:47 am

hello,
thanks for sharing your thread and replies. i am currently applying for a Skilled Worker visa. (switching from a Tier 2 (General) due to new employer).

In my 'Document Checklist' from UKVI, i only have 3 mandatory documents. do i only scan & upload the 3 mandatory documents on UKVCAS website under the 'Mandatory' section? or should i still populate the 'Other' sections.
Note: the 3 mandatory docs are 'passport issued by Country X' , 'ATAS certificate' and 'BRP'.

besides the main page of my passport that contains my details, do i need to scan all other pages in the passport, which includes my travel history/entry & exit stamps to countries?

are colour-scanned documents accepted by UKVCAS? the file size is still below the limit of 6MB per file.

thank you in advance for your reply.

Where you upload them is irrelevant. All files will be seen by the caseworker.

Only documents listed on the checklist are needed.

I only uploaded the photo page of passport for my previous applications and they all went well. During biometric appointment, UKVACS will scan all other pages.

Color scan is ok

hi everyone,

thank you so much for such quick responses as i was unsure about the 'Other' documents appearing in my UKVCAS website when the 'Mandatory' documents are listed as 3 in my 'Document Checklist'. i am guessing perhaps it is because i had a previous successful application?

when UKVCAS scan all the other pages of your passport, did they charge you?

thank you.
